[quote=@Frettzo] At this point in time I feel like I've gotten to know the story I wanna tell so well that I can just start my rewrite right now. And by that, I mean start preparing an actual outline for a second draft. My first draft is just so full of plot holes and is so bland that I can't bring myself to write anymore in it due to embarrassment xD [/quote] [b]FINISH IT!!!![/b] This is absolutely vital to your progress as a writer. See the plotholes, the poorly written scenes, the stupid chapters, the inconsistent characters -- know that they are there -= [b]and finish anyway.[/b] You will [b]always[/b] want to go back and edit what you've got so far -- the bigger the project, the stronger the urge. RESIST. Just keep on going.
