He took a step. She stepped in. It was like a freaking square dance!

There are a great many furrowed brows and glittering eyes in my first drafts. Maybe after my twenty-third book I will be a breathing thesaurus and no longer require the "find and replace" revision step.<br /><br />Maybe. Not likely.K.A.

It would be an interesting survey, to see if the faster drafters spend more time revising. I write slowly, too. I like it to feel polished as I go. But if I'm getting stuck thinking of a third way to say "step" then I give myself permission to just use the damn word again and fix it later!Jeffe Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04779020656676094853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570797399734382213.post-36187080587600636782010-03-22T10:17:50.257-06:002010-03-22T10:17:50.257-06:00Note to self: Get a bigger pot
Wonder what the ra...Note to self: Get a bigger pot<br /><br />Wonder what the ratio is for speedy-crap-draft : editing revisions versus slow-soul-draft : editing revisions? <br /><br />Maybe it's not quantity of revisions but total time spent revising? Hmm.<br /><br />Going back to writing my slow-soul-draft on a PC now (because my handwriting is utterly illegible).K.A. Krantzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06674754426001151828noreply@blogger.com
