I'm (hopefully) about 20k away from the end of my current WIP so I'm getting closer to the editing stage for this novel. I'm curious, what do you typically look for when you are editing the first draft of your novel? Or any draft! I already know there will be plenty of grammar and spelling to fix, but I'm wondering how do you take your first draft to a final, polished draft that works really well?

I've been trying to get better at plotting and so I'm learning about different methods authors use to plot their stories before drafting. What is your favorite plotting method?

Super excited and full of imposter syndrome, but happy to be here! Also, I spent an hour last night ironing out this freaking black table cloth, and this picture highlights every single horrible wrinkle! What a waste of time 😂😂

Currently writing not one, but TWO pieces in verse. For my usual buyer a piece has to be a complete narrative (beginning, middle, end) and come in at (or under) two pages. Now, I like this format, but writing that in metered verse does make the writing trickier. A LOT trickier. Kill me.
