The After the First Draft article was very good. It’s always cool to see someone else articulate how their drafting process went. I particularly liked the line “This was especially the case with Company, which I initially had trouble finding my way into, then was visited with a succession of great new ideas that required rewriting major sections.”
That’s exactly what happened with VMP, only I hadn’t articulated it that way yet. It’s easy, of course, in retrospect to define what happened while you were writing a novel, but when you’re in the middle of it, dealing with the minutiae of a days worth of work, all you can see is muddle.
