Drafts

by Victoria Constant
4th June 2013

How many drafts do people do before their work is finished? I know my works are not completed yet as I am only on my second draft on some, some are still on the first draft, but I wondered roughly what people find works best for them :)

Replies

I did a redraft after two years because I was reliably told, that there was enough material for 6 novels in my first draft.

Three years have past. I am in the final phase of editing. A few more thorough edits and I will be done. Then I will start book 2 in the series.

Emma: I'm like that sometimes :3

Alice: I used to be like that, but recently I've finished six form and have nothing to do till uni I'm September, so I've looked over some of my work and found I could improve bits, such as the one on my shared work (speaking of which there is new stuff on there :3)
