hd_writersWhat? Why? How? Help!
This is one of the reasons I know that I'm not cut out to be a professional writer.
Editing... I hate it. :C
How do you stand reading and rereading the same words over and over again. And I'm only working on about 3-4k... how does anyone edit long things?

But seriously what is your process? How do you get through it without banging your head on a wall. *looks at wall longingly*

Date: 2013-01-05 03:30 pm (UTC)I espcially love this idea:
I have a notebook beside me in which I list all the major events of the story: things that are written in are ticked off with pencil, things I planned to write then changed my mind about are crossed out with pen.
That is really a good tip that I think could work for me!
As is the idea to change the font color or underline problem areas to come back to later.
I do tend to get bogged down with the small edits and it's frustrating.
Reading for spag later paragraph by paragraph, backwards is a great idea also!
Your notebook process looks really intereting as a whole! I'd love to have a whole post dedicated to what all that encompasses! :D
Thanks for sharing!
