So. You have finished your first draft. HIP HIP HORRAY!! Good for you! *pat on back*

So you have your beautiful, gleaming – confusing, junk filled, messy, first draft. Time to fix it and write the 2nd draft.

And now I present to you an illustrated guide to the stages of writing your 2nd draft, featuring Pirates of the Caribbean *cue dramatic music*

The Stages

When you sit down with all your notebooks, pens, and computer(s) and prepare to embark…

 

Once you start reading and realize….a lot of this is trash

Continue to read and the panic sets in…this is all trash!!!!!!

*light bulb!* You’ve thought a solution to all the problems. 

 

You do everything you plannedd to do, working for hours and hours. Still is trash. *Throws trash away*

 

*puddles in exhaustion *

 

Try again and try to find that perfect wording.

*Nails it like a boss*

repeat as necessary

 

    Have  a great rest of your day!! Best of writing to you!!!
