Thread: First five chapters rewritten

Imagine how many more than five I’d get done next week, if I stayed away from here.

I imagine you'd find something else distracting. I always do

I bet you couldn't stay away very long if you tried; this place will keep calling you back.

Just out of interest, how much (if any) of your original material did you retain during the re-writes?

Probably close to 95%.

But don’t read anything into my reply. Everyone’s different. Some people prolly rush through a first draft like a contestant in a luge at the Winter Olympics, and would need to delete 95%. I take it easy, and think about what I’m writing.
