Generally, I can not determine which bit was worse: enhancing or drafting the novel.
It does not matter. Each have been arduous, difficult, and mentally taxing.
However as a lot as I can verify (from first-hand expertise) that enhancing is probably the most important step in writing a ebook, it does not imply the drafting part is irrelevant.
But, leaving the whole lot to the enhancing part, I’ve found, isn’t a good suggestion.
The novel I launched this yr is the second time I’ve written a full manuscript. The primary time was practically fifteen years in the past; that ebook has by no means seen the sunshine of day.
There is a purpose why that ebook did not attain the enhancing part — the draft was fully unusable.
It is not that my story was horrible or that I wasn’t a proficient author. However as the method was so haphazard, it produced an equally disjointed manuscript.
I am glad I did not do that with a second manuscript. I’m pleased I discovered how one can write an excellent “beginning manuscript”.
