That way I don't spend a month hammering out 50,000 words only to spend the next three months deleting and re-writing them. <br><br>Oh and yes. . .

That is not the experience I'm having this year. I'm nowhere near satisfied with this year's story. I'm thinking about shredding it all when I'm done. Well, maybe I'll keep the beginning and the end.
