From Writing to Editing…
Hi all! 🙂
I’ve just finished my first draft (couple small scenes to add but it’s pretty much there), and I’m taking a break for a couple months before I start on my second draft/editing. (life stuff means I need to take the time between the two processes).
But having lived in the story for weeks and weeks, my brain keeps wanting to still “play with” the story, and I’m still constantly thinking of things to change/add.
You know, because the writing has been so fun my mind doesn’t want to let go of it all just yet!
Do I try to capture these revision/change/addition ideas, now?
OR just try to let it go as much as possible and let it “simmer” for a couple months to come back to it fresh after my subconscious has had a chance to digest?
Thanks in advance 🙂
