A Paragraph a Day: That Old Adage
WRITING is Rewriting.
THIS is true. The hours I spend on coming up with an idea, plotting it out, making a design skeleton, and writing the entire novel is less than the time I spend editing the piece (not to undermined the time I spend on creating the piece--that's dozens/hundreds of hours by itself!).
I always believed you can get better at your technical abilities and write more polished material the first go around, which will minimize editing, but there will always be an error missed that would need polishing.
AND that's okay. More experience will equate to more efficiency at writing which in turn will allow anyone to produce more stories. Plus, if you let yourself, editing is pretty fun!
