I have quite a few holes that I need to patch after rushing through that first draft. Then I'll focus on making it pretty. Or at least that's the plan. Who knows how it will actually go. I've never done a second draft before. ;)<br /><br />Good luck making the transition! Can't wait to hear more about the project. :)Avery Marshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15615057600393412922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8879650711138321553.post-36866822558212457402012-03-08T01:07:56.906-07:002012-03-08T01:07:56.906-07:00Very well written article.

I have many of the same issues when I'm coming close to finishing a first draft especially where you mentioned flying through it and leaving some parts "Bare bones" When I'm on a roll I'll do that as well on my way to wrap everything up with the intention of fleshing parts able when I finish up. <br /><br />Congrats on being so close to the completion of the draft stage. Can't wait to see how it all comes out :)<br /><br />-Ryan A SmithCrimsonstarwritinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15752130520181662713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8879650711138321553.post-85673252840648174262012-03-07T20:19:20.566-07:002012-03-07T20:19:20.566-07:00Go, go, go! woohoo!
