    For me, I'm a clean drafter. I have trouble moving forward if things are too messy. In the last 10 chapters of my current WIP, i forced myself to fast draft, and it was a mistake. I've struggled to fully get back into the story since. Draft 2 has been HARD.

    My first draft tends to be on the clean and thorough side! That’s part of the reason it takes me so long, but I can’t help
    myself. If I’m stuck on certain details, I’ll add a note with brackets, but it’s generally complete, which makes the second draft and revisions go quicker.

    Love the vibes with this vlog!! My drafting style is very much "get it on the page first, it'll improve later" becuase I'm better at revision than I am at first drafts. Someone once described it like needing to work with the clay before being able to make a pot, which feels natural to me. (also 👀 did I hear a little shoutout to a future patreon?? exciting!)

    As for my drafting style, I am definitely a zero draft outliner, but a prose-focused drafter if that makes sense? I'm really trying not to edit as I write because it takes waaaaay too long to get anything on the page, but it's definitely a work in progress 😅

    Congrats on writing the first words of book two in your series, that’s quite an accomplishment! 🎉When it comes to writing, I usually have a very detailed outline on the page first, and then I try to make the draft as polished as possible before sending the finished piece to beta-readers. I really thought I wouldn’t be able to participate or really do any writing this month because I suffered a serious case of burnout in the past week. But after seeing the last video and this one, I’ve been able to write 2,378 words in two days! Thank you again for creating this series, can’t wait for the next entry! Now I need to finish this scene checklist before I head into work 😂

    I feel like I don’t try to write polished work, but I’m a definite underwriter for sure. I like to get the basic story out first, then fill in details as needed. The ‘as needed’ is generally according to my first proof readers (aka friends and fam, lol) who say ‘oh I’d love to know more about this’ and ‘what about this plot point, you never really explained how it works.’

    I tend to write pretty clean first drafts, but honestly I think it's a detriment to me because so much developmental work happens after so a lot of those words didn't matter regardless! So when I get to my YA fantasy first draft, I think I'm going to try to do a little of both--whatever my brain feels like going with for that scene or chapter. ALSO AuthorTube Cafe sounds sooo cute and I cannot wait to watch! 🫎

    • @briellewrites
      @briellewrites  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      i totally feel that! but i loved the reframe of 'no words are wasted words' bc at the end of the day every word we write helps us improve even if it ends up being rewritten later :) so i think writing a clean first draft isn't a waste bc you got to practice!! maybe thats just the optimist in me lol. excited to start dropping the authortube cafe episodes:)

    12:25 - I have never really done the zero-draft method, but I do tend to draft with less than true end goal for whatever project I work. I've never truly had "editor brain" when I draft my stories. I find that I tell myself "come back to that later" all the time, especially when I have a steady writing momentum. Gaining momentum is tricky in my house, so when I have it, I run with it until it's gone.
    I'm working on a fantasy epic this month, and I gave myself a low goal of 25k, to get the bones of the story down and then I will go back and beef it up to have a length that better suits the genre. Thankfully, it is set in a world that I am already familiar with, so I am not building the world as I write. I can work on the story and character arcs, and add my known world details as I go.
    I don't usually leave comments, but I love watching your videos! Happy writing!

    Long time watching, first time commenting! Honestly, I’ve done both as far as writing a clean first draft and doing a bone draft. I would say I prefer a messy first draft. Just because even when I was writing as cleanly as possible, there were so many concepts or ideas or scene as a whole that had to be rewritten entirely. Overall, it’s just less work to do a messy first draft and then revising in rounds. Writing a perfect first draft takes a lot longer and it can mess with like your momentum or your spirit or feeling about the story if that makes any sense.

    • @briellewrites
      @briellewrites  หลายเดือนก่อน

    The first draft of my first book was messy!! But I noticed that my first draft of my sequel has been a lot cleaner? I don’t think it’s through intention though, it’s still messy, but by comparison I know what I wrote and how I write better so I think it’s just coming out easier.
    Probably not helpful 😂 but I guess trust what comes out? It’s probably better than you think it is

    • @briellewrites
      @briellewrites  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    @michellec99 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I am a discovery/gardener writer, so my method is a mix of fast and slow. In past NaNoWriMo events, I learned to prioritize quality over quantity. After reaching 50k words, I often had to face major rewrites, so now my approach is not about writing as fast but as much as I can, and listening to my inner critic/reader. When I start to feel disconnected from the story, I stop and slow down to identify what’s going on with it.

    • @briellewrites
      @briellewrites  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      i really resonate with that! i've never heard the term gardener writer, super interesting. I also try to prioritize quality > quantity when it comes to writing goals--thats ultimately what serves the story (and me!) best. thanks for sharing your thoughts!

    • @jasminv8653
      @jasminv8653 15 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      There is no one specific form - different editors might prefer to work on projects in different formats - and you don't need it for your personal writing time. Just get the thing written anf worry about formatting when it's ready. However, a general rule of thumb would be a 12pt font and a 1,5 spacing between rows, same as for academic writing. Duble space for paragraph breaks (though some people use indentations because that's how a final book often looks. that's more for economical page use and reader's sake though).
