I also found that editing when the whole draft is finished, as opposed to editing bit by bit while I'm writing, makes my writing style more consistent.Draganahttp://www.mystictreehouse.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1281469968333860626.post-61439277488003723892011-07-25T19:58:10.315-04:002011-07-25T19:58:10.315-04:00Great post as I'm reading through my rough dra...Great post as I'm reading through my rough draft.

I've also managed to find a creative way of dealing with my Inner Editor when she shows up too soon - I type the changes I'd like to make in a separate Word document for later!

I feel that it's better to simply get the story on paper first. Later we can worry about cleaning it up.<br>It really is a great time to hear this advice from you since I'm getting ready to start working on book 3 very soon.<br>Take care.<br><br>-JimmyJames Garcia Jrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00559119178720751963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1281469968333860626.post-17788405402662470142011-07-24T15:51:38.835-04:002011-07-24T15:51:38.835-04:00Great reminder.

I was sorta doing the same thing, and having a tangle of a time with my first 3 pages--until I gave myself permission to write yukky. ;o) It can ALWAYS be fixed up later!Carol Riggshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14092209912983783974noreply@blogger.com
