One of my fav Instagram posts is a conversation between two people. The first person asks about the writing process.
The second replies: "Well, you type & you delete. You rethink. You do 187 minutes of research & correct it. You reread & wonder if you have a grasp of the English language. Then you revise."
The first person says: "Then you are done with the book?"
The second person replies, "Oh, no. Then you move on to the next sentence."
Continual fine tuning is a good way to look at this. It makes me feel better about my obsessive editing, second guessing myself, and following my gut.
Haha, it's as if you just wrote out my exact process right there. I guess we are on the same wavelength!
