I am also in awe of your layering passes. Wow. I hope to get faster at that process, but it's a brain muscle memory thing. I think the more we produce and revise, the better that muscle gets tho' I agree with Lexi George that it does become harder to write each book because we know more about writing LOL.<br /><br />Hope you had a safe Friday!!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05383099148014297450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5523176879771875815.post-68062736864353164052012-03-02T20:47:31.325-06:002012-03-02T20:47:31.325-06:00Love your process!

First draft is quick and dirty, then I do one or two "layering" passes, depending on what kind of deadline I'm working against.Suzanne Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14180604715572075576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5523176879771875815.post-28635201765763828002012-03-02T13:15:36.348-06:002012-03-02T13:15:36.348-06:00Hi Naima: You make me laugh so much.

I'm just trying to find a name for the crapper pantser fixer upper revise till you're told to revise again and revise more process. It is what it is--today my process is to print out pages and wait out the storms and basically do NOTHING with my writing LOL.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05383099148014297450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5523176879771875815.post-44643999868568248092012-03-02T09:20:25.234-06:002012-03-02T09:20:25.234-06:00A Crapper Pantser Plotter Fix...ROFL!!
