      @rochellaine, H is quite a character.

      How about 15 minutes?

        @alia Sorry, my email isn’t working so I’m not getting quick updates.  Fifteen minutes it is!

            @rochellaine, I got 287, not my best.

            I’ve got to be signing off, and unless you got distracted there is no way that I beat you

              @alia Well you see, I am able to morph into many forms. A steampunk horse, a cute blue car, whatever pleases me. So don’t be surprised if my profile pic changes frequently. 😛

                @alia Well, I got 346 words, but I’m afraid I’ll have to delete a lot of them.  I was definitely not on a roll, and am very unhappy with what I wrote. 🙁

                Oh well, see you later!

                          Hey so what are you working on?

                          I am reviewing what I’ve managed to write on my phone yesterday and it’s… 😅 Hope today will be better.

                            Still slaving away at my editing. I’m getting closer to the end but I had to kill Rain again and that was upsetting 😢

                            I sympathise. I’ve felt like that all week. I’ve not done well at all.

                                Ooh yeah that feeling sucks 🙁

                                Since I’ve never really completed a novel-length project like this before, how different would you say your first and second drafts are in terms of the writing? I think the reason why I am progressing so slowly is because I am pressuring myself to get the prose all right the first time so I want to put the difference between the writing stage and the editing phase in perspective.

                                  @rochellaine Welcome! *bows*

                                  For me, I tend to concentrate on plot and characters in the first draft and who cares whether the words make any sense or not (as I’ve been reading through my draft I sometimes stop and stare at the ridiculous things I’ve written 😛 ). In the second draft, I embellish the plot and make sure the characters are consistent and that things make sense and I also make sure the writing makes sense, even if its still not the greatest prose ever. In my third draft, I’m hopefully going to be happy with my characters/plot and that is when I’ll really knuckle down to the prose, grammar, punctuation and making it sound beautiful 😀

                                  But that’s just my way of doing things, I’m sure people do it differently.
