The I'm Writing Thread.... Celebrate your pages written etc
The Deposed King:
You've got your own process so go for it cenwolfgirl. I just urge you to give yourself the permission to write something less than what you want and move on. Find yourself a good editor (a friend or fellow author who you can return the favor for) and fix it up when you get a completed draft.
By the way guys, as I mention in another thread I just put my first book up on amazon. Put it under my son's name, out of love.

I don't have access to word right now, so I have to make a few minor changes in format as soon as I do. But you can read the first 10@ for free on Amazon's Kindle for PC. Or kindle if you have one!
I'm kind of interested in how the first chapter plays out. The original draft had about 20 paragraphs of preamble and I chopped it down.
Always follow the dream,

Big hairy step! Congrats TDK!
OK, so in another thread we are talking about shitty first drafts. I was re-editing and going gangbusters and then I hit that god awful chapter of disaster we all have lurking in our first drafts. I mean so bad that I needed crest toothpaste up the nose to cover up the smell. If it weren't for you guys, i would be hung up on that blasted thing for weeks, probably get discouraged and my process would turn into molasses. Thanks to you guys, I just highlighted its royal ugliness and moved on.l I can fix it later. Onward into the pages!
