Book Writing Tip of
the Week:
Successful authors rewrite and organize their ideas
for the most impact.
New authors tell me all the time, “I just write whatever
comes to my head and there’s no need to re-write. My
editor will handle all that.”
My response is always the same: It’s o.k. to free write
when you are working on your first draft. The idea is go get
the thoughts out of your head onto paper. For no one can express
it quite like you. Oh sure, there are some better or worse
writers but not exactly like you.
In fact, my advice is to avoid re-writing during your first
draft.
Concentrate on finishing each chapter then use your tracking
time to self-edit: Check your ideas for flow, grammar, spelling,
and chapter endings. Work on your chapter titles and lead
in introductions.
I know this may not feel good to some but its smacks of plain
ole laziness if you don’t work on making your copy the
best it can be. Don’t leave all the dirty work for your
editor unless you really can’t do any better.

to do everything they think they should do, they never get
around to what they want to do."
