It took me years to cut it in half.<br /><br />My second novel was streamlined and minimal, But I had only needed to add about 10000 words to get it where it is now.<br /><br />My most recent project is a novella and for this I am on target, A bit fine tuning after I finish the first draft, and I'm good to go.<br /><br />I think many of us in the beginning of our writing careers we fall into either type, but as we go along and work at our craft the two begin to blend.<br /><br />And yes, CP's are UBER IMPORTANT.

I love finding those amid the desert landscape of the first draft.KM Nallehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714392426676743868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3858640151411914449.post-7304927778004222552014-02-04T20:11:41.805-08:002014-02-04T20:11:41.805-08:00I am so the type 1!

I know this is efficient (or even affective) but that's what happens when people with OCD write.Holly Vancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10113438267020711966noreply@blogger.com
