I'm in that "waiting for a miracle" spot on the current WIP, and will be glad to slog through so I have something to revise. Much more satisfying.Kathleen Ernsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07009876100214388898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-60134042167293196892012-08-29T19:01:33.841-04:002012-08-29T19:01:33.841-04:00I prefer writing more.

It just seems so much EASIER than the having to dream up stuff stage you do while writing the first draft.

I dislike it when I know I have to leave it in a relatively short time (by which I might mean 2-3 hours). I have occasionally taken myself away by myself so that I could write whenever I want, and those escapes are always VERY productive. But revising I can do in short spurts, and feel I'm getting somewhere. Ah, the writer's brain is a fascinating thing.

Sometimes a new way into one of the steps changes everything for us - even changing the time of day we do the work. There's no right way, and the only wrong way is to do nothing!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07535695542961577318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-41424242665542016252012-08-29T10:52:38.412-04:002012-08-29T10:52:38.412-04:00Nice post.

I guess we're all different. The only thing that matters in the end is that we wind up with a book we're proud of. Doesn't matter how we get there. We all have a different process.Lois Winstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01866423986250423199noreply@blogger.com
