*gives a deep bow

Why thank you miss Rose, but lets not talk about the quality of the writing. That’s not an important factor…xD

@rose-colored-fancy

That’s pretty good. Yeah, I never edit while on a WIP (here I am talking like I’ve been writing for years instead of 3 months xD), I just write. We’ll see how good I am at improving my prose this winter.

@lrc

You two really just did that didn’t you. xD I wonder what put this topic on your mind…

Well, I’m always game for a good argument, let’s do this. 🙂

First off, just to clear a notion that you might think I hold, I do not ever recommend reading bad writing or badly written books as part of one’s research, I find it nearly…[Read more]

+1 vote for Connor as a great villain. Don’t mind me Joy, I show up in weird places. xD

Also, Rose, how long did it take you in months to complete your 120k first draft for your second book?

@rose-colored-fancy

@imwritehere1920

I’ve been doing fine, been trying to get in 2k words a day, which has been going well, but we’ll see what happens when I have to start online college and school next week.

@obrian-of-the-surface-world

Hey Brian, that is quite an extensive list, thanks man! I’ll be trying to incorporate those in appropriate descriptions. 🙂

@rose-colored-fancy

@taylorclogston

My goal is to create a story that’s good enough, not one that’s perfect, because I know I’ll grow faster by learning from mistakes on finished products than polishing the same story for three years (which I’ve also done).

I very much agree with this sentiment, especially when it comes to the quality of one’s prose. They’ll never b…[Read more]

@taylorclogston

If I dictated, my prose wouldn’t even be readable.

What’s your process after you finish the first draft? Do you write a second draft, or do you just do lots of editing?
