Create a method that suits you, pick and choose from others what suits you. Just help yourself and be yourself. You're doing fine, right now. Why worry further about more stuff and give worry an opportunity to get in the way?esruelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02835679794930788599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17171183.post-35427025349410498142008-03-28T06:16:00.000+00:002008-03-28T06:16:00.000+00:00No, I agree there, Es.

But of late I can't help but edit as I write, an I think now's the time to cut back and just write and stop being so critical of what is coming out until I'm ready to go back and edit.<BR/><BR/>Now then, does this stage sit before beating out the scene or after?R1Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02795008603868808516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17171183.post-10683258744197944602008-03-27T22:46:00.000+00:002008-03-27T22:46:00.000+00:00I can see what you mean about writing without the ...I can see what you mean about writing without the 'edit' restriction from the outset, then editing afterwards. I've done that many times. It is a very good method - my latest has been written with more than one pass in a lot of places. If it suits your own style, then by all means use it.<BR/>However, I do feel it is just one method, and not the only method. Some people can write fluently and it's not at all detrimental - to the contrary: further editing becomes minimal when carried out properly.<BR/>Just one thing would bother me: that you shouldn't show people what you've written in this rough stage. Perhaps your secured agent or editor would appreciate it, but I wouldn't advise submitting it to anyone else. Only the final edit.esruelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02835679794930788599noreply@blogger.com
