Now that summer break is over and my son has returned to campus for his sophomore year of college, I need to get back to writing the science-fiction novel. Of course, I’d never stopped writing, but we’ve been so busy getting ready to bring him back to school that I have not gotten a lot done in the past few weeks.
In fact, I haven’t written any new words; I’ve been focused on editing the first fifteen or twenty chapters (I don’t have an exact chapter count because I have been considering moving the chapter breaks around a bit). Today I wrote outside on the patio, with a writer friend who came over to work on her own book. And, at last I finished this current round of editing that I wanted to do before moving on. Tomorrow I plan to jump in and move forward with the plot. I know where it’s going, but I have a lot of details to work out.
Have I mentioned that I hate first drafts?

Really? I hate the editing phase more, but maybe that’s because I’m a pantser. Will try outlining my next novel and see if I’ll hate the first draft, lol. Good luck with this project!

First drafts drives me crazy. I’d almost always rather rewrite than write!
