Thanks so much – that’s lovely of you to share. Glad you feel the same – it’s important for our books to be the best they can be 🙂

Too true! But good on ya for doing that final editing and rewrite. One regrettable thing I see way too often is an author self-publishing before the book is ready.
Personally – I spew out a few pages at a time then return to them and edit when I run out of ideas.
Saved the pin and will share on my writers group’s Facebook page. Thanks!

In reply to theunbookreporter. LOL, I love that - a Zero draft. That is a great name for it. I am the same as you, my second draft is nothing like the first, although maybe I keep more of my basic plot. Interesting that you say third and fourth. I think I have done the same with my second and third. I am doing a major rewrite (my second draft) but then editing backwards as I go so that I pick up errors. But I hadn't really thought of them as separate drafts until you just said it!
