Etc.
Note: It is important to get the 1st draft down before it fades away into the back of the mind. Write in a place where you can be alone with no distractions. Being alone is a writer’s friend.
- Habit of revision
This habit cannot be overstated; learning how to edit your work will make your life easier and spark motivation in your heart. There are three main stages of editing. Incorporate the editing formats in your writing process. Writing the first draft is the easy part , it is the editing stage that polishes your work and makes it presentable for publication.
The 3 Stages:
Content: The overall picture
Voice: Voice constant throughout story
Line Edit: Grammar, etc. Polishing stage.
Note: When editing start with the big picture. First stage is to concentrate on the overall content, making sure the plot is coherent and characters seem believable. Second stage is to work on your voice and make sure it is consistent. Third stage is to work on line edits, fixing grammar, paragraph structure, etc.
The editing process is hard work, requiring huge amounts of your time, energy, and attention, but once you have completed your finale draft, you will have a polished manuscript with a professional structure ready for publication. Never release a story or any form of writing before it has been edited. It is amateurish and foolish. You are a writer, so, be a writer and take pride in your work. Only release the best possible draft to the public.
- Habit of Completion
When the editing stage is complete you are not done writing, it isn’t until you submit your story for publication is the story complete, if it is rejected, keep submitting until it is published. Learn this habit. Make it second nature.
Formula:
1st Draft + Editing + Submit = Publication
Note: Learn to never forget this habit, even if you’re not aiming for publication. No matter what your goals are, the story is not finished until the goal you set is achieved. Learn to complete. Teach yourself to grind it out, trudge through the mud until the end. The writing process is hard, but once it is completed there is no greater reward than to know your work was accepted by others to be a legit professional craft of writing.
Summary
To be a writer you must have certain habits that benefit your writing process. Your goal as a writer is to write professional manuscripts worthy of publication so it can be enjoyed by the public. To be a writer you must have passion for the written word, and never lose sight of your purpose. So, take inventory in the habits you have that makes you a writer, and determine which writing habits benefits you and which writing habits serve no purpose. Abolish those that have no use, they will clog your mind and restrict the ease of writing.
