I do tend to be a bit more detailed as I work along, but there is definitely room for improvement by the time I'm at the end. I worry that I might never finish if I tweak forever, and there is so much more I could add, but at some point I need to say, enough. Save it for the next book.D.

It takes time with a story to have that happen. That's why on my first draft I don't go back and edit - I just rush right through to the end and then go back- If I get a great idea for a scene in the middle of doing this of course I write it down but generally this really gets me understanding all the characters. In LOTTERY it wasn't until my editor and I were working together that I really understood the dynamics of the family...ORIONhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01534064935115027523noreply@blogger.com
