Ah, brilliant! More more! LOVE this.

I love the original product. I love the final product. I hate the in between process.

I find if I write with the object in mind and leave the editing to the end, my story moves forward. I used to edit as I wrote and found my whole effort stilted. Great post and advice from one of the masters.

Thanks! I’m with you. I don’t know if I could edit while I write. I can barely edit after I write!
