Are they better or worse, in your opinion of course?

It's really kind of a brain dump. I rush through it so that my internal editor can't think too hard while I get down the bones of the plot. By the time I have 300 realllllly sucky pages I usually have some kind of sense of who my people are. So the second draft is fleshing them out. By the third draft things are starting to look a little better, I hope. That's when I begin making things make sense, filling in the whys and the hows, fleshing out the scenery. I generally read the fourth draft out loud to myself to get a feel for the rythmn and flow. The fifth draft is simply technical...typos, grammar...that sort of thing. <br /><br />This is pretty much how I've always written. I have to warn you that sometimes it works better than other. :)<br /><br />Hope this helps.lois greimanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05758677401591191607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999125118927001112.post-11089679427973812292010-02-19T09:04:32.863-08:002010-02-19T09:04:32.863-08:00I'm interested in your 'five draft writer&...I'm interested in your 'five draft writer' comment, Lois.
