2nd Draft

I'm editing my second draft, which is infinitely more fun for me than finishing the first draft. Now that I have all the crap out in the open I can tease out some okay stuff. My first draft was seriously under the page limit but I've written out a scene that was omitted plus some edits that have me over. I am perpetually overly brief with things. I need to expand.

  1. Alternatively, you need to ask yourself what's missing? Usually, it's something that you think is very clear, but the audience is still in the dark about. Make sure someone from the outside will be able to follow everything.

  2. Zactly. I find myself struggling with brevity as well. Fight the good fight and keep up the good re-write!
