The heat, the desire, the passion, we all know where it leads. I finally have my characters in the master bedroom, one screaming for release the other determined to make it last....
Oh and the results are going to be hot and bothersome, in more ways than one ;) Have to torture these poor people before they get their HEA!
Oh and i'm going to have to realign my goal. I was hoping to finish this draft by the end of this month, but that was with the expectation i would have three afternoons without my daughter, but she isn't starting public kindy until January.
So new goal if to finish draft by end of november.
My process is painfully slow. I seem to need everything to be perfect, well as perfect as it can be!, straight away. I do the layering, the senses, the dialogue, EVERYTHING, on the first run then tweak it later. (I've done the first three chapters, ready for submission)
Also when it isn't working i take a break until the problem fixes in my subconsious or i suddenly figure out what to do to fix it! This draft has taken me since the beginning of April! a 7 month draft?!!
Well i know i am going to have to be MUCH faster if i ever want to be published - and i do, i really really do! I think i just need more discipline.
How do you write? Bare bones first then layering and editing or are you a perfectionist? How long does it take you to write that first draft?
yes, tourture. pls. yes, yes....
ReplyDeleteMy first draft was slow but then it was my first time writing a 'proper' story. I think next time (for book 2 ;p) I'm gonna knock out the rough draft fast so I can get stuck into the re-writes. Which for me is the biggest part :)
ReplyDeleteyeah Nic, i really have to work faster! polish later.
