Do you edit or rewrite anything before you're finished with your first draft? I've never really thought about it before, generally I like to edit after a couple of days, but is it better to leave everything until you've finished your first draft?

It's my biggest Problem at the Moment... no matter what I do the Computer wants me to converse in german, it's mortally offended if I write anything in english... I'm not really one for Technology :)
If you can make yourself do it Sandra, then I'd put it up again. I can completely empathise with the self-consciousness thing, but it's the only way to get some constructive advice. I'd find it easier to remember what I'd put in the first crit if I could see the writing again. I do remember the main points - I did have some queries and areas I thought you could clarify - but honestly I don't think you need to feel worried about the standard or think that its not good enough to go up.
I am loving the image of you fighting with a german computer - it's a bit surreal!
@ Adrian, I will definitly copy your checklist, thanks a heap :) May I pester you with a few more questions? What exactly do you mean by signposting? and 'Socks and Shoes' Problems? I was a Little unclear on both of these... (I can't be bothered correcting all the grammar mistakes on here, my german Computer feels the absurd Need to tamper with all my words and I'm sick of fighting the damn Thing) Thanks for your comment!
