Never perfect, of course--that's what readers and editors are for--but you can manage to go beyond the need to rewrite that first draft ten times like I used to have to!Annette Lyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12493583432919249814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268140710115533820.post-47532468636305448522008-07-27T19:42:00.000-06:002008-07-27T19:42:00.000-06:00Tamra, I used to write 2000 words a day, now I can...Tamra, I used to write 2000 words a day, now I can only do that if I know exactly what I want to happen. But most days, it's 1,000 to 1,500 words. And I only have two hours to do it in. So no luxury for writers block :) --I do type pretty fast, if that makes you feel better :)<BR/><BR/>Don--My rewrites are the job of my readers. They get to take a load off and read through the book, then I just have to go through their changes.Heather Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11634399663804195312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268140710115533820.post-40951459616784671902008-07-24T12:33:00.000-06:002008-07-24T12:33:00.000-06:00Let's see: 1000 x 5 x 15 = 75000.
