Typically, I can not resolve which bit was worse: modifying or drafting the novel.
It does not matter. Each had been arduous, difficult, and mentally taxing.
However as a lot as I can verify (from first-hand expertise) that modifying is probably the most essential step in writing a e book, it does not imply the drafting part is irrelevant.
But, leaving all the pieces to the modifying part, I’ve found, isn’t a good suggestion.
The novel I launched this 12 months is the second time I’ve written a full manuscript. The primary time was practically fifteen years in the past; that e book has by no means seen the sunshine of day.
There is a cause why that e book did not attain the modifying part — the draft was utterly unusable.
It is not that my story was horrible or that I wasn’t a gifted author. However as the method was so haphazard, it produced an equally disjointed manuscript.
I am glad I did not do that with a second manuscript. I’m blissful I discovered learn how to write a great “beginning manuscript”.
