It's fascinating to observe your writing process. It's all at once dissimilar and exactly the same as my own. LOL ... Quite often my scenes come to me "ready to wear" or in need of very litle tailoring to make them fit... This makes them easy to get put to paper. Where I run into issues is the tangle of thread that I find myself unraveling in order to sew scenes together.
I'm forever grateful for the time you spent with the Herscher Project (so many years ago, should we dare contemplate it). I hope you gained something from it that you can apply to your latest endeavors or, at the least, some measure of inspiration for pursuing writing....
This was an anomaly; I don’t usually save the barest drafts of my chapters since once I’ve outlined the scene, I go into expanding it immediately. So the middle example is closer to a genuine “1st draft,” and then everything after that is just me being compulsive with the prose.
And yes, being part of tHP was truly a life-changing experience, as I learned so many skills from the group. <3
