    As soon as i typed the words "the end" today, i rushed to youtube to share my happiness with fellow writers who have also completed their project. though it's just watching a video, it feels as if i'm in a video call with writer friend and we're sharing about our works.

    Re: video ideas, I'd be curious to know which authors you like reading for inspiration as a writer! My professor would call those types of writers your writing mentors because the process of reading their work shapes how you write! Which I love.

    I'm so happy for you! Waiting on a draft can be daunting. Usually, I like to work on a different book while a first draft is sitting. It makes it easier not to just jump right back into the story. Right now, I am working on a YA FANTASY novel. It's an enemies-to-lovers royalty novel, about the consequences of escapism.

    I have yet to actually wait purposefully between drafts, but I've taken plenty of breaks because of life/other things getting in the way! It definitely has helped find problems and solutions in my work. Congrats on your finished draft!

    • @sincerelyvee
      @sincerelyvee  3 роки тому

      tysm :)) previously, the same happened to me where i ended up waiting quite a while between drafts due to getting caught up in other life shenanigans so that could definitely happen again. but you’re right, the time spent away from my draft will help me to spot things that need to be changed!

  • @sionnach9946
    @sionnach9946 3 роки тому +1

    Okay so for my first draft I did dive back in after a week to run through and do some light edits as well as take note of any big changes I wanted to make and write down all the comments I left (When I draft I don't edit so I leave comments if I know there is something I want to change). After that I normally want to jump back in but for my most recent (and most successful) draft I got caught up in work and would up taking a month break before I really sat down with it. If you're feeling good about going into it again I say go for it! Just don't expect to make too many changes because your head will still be stuck with the last draft.

    • @sincerelyvee
      @sincerelyvee  3 роки тому +1

      this is fantastic advice thank you! i’ve already made note of the big changes i want to make but as much as i want to dive back in right away i need to distance myself from my first draft for the best results when it comes to noting what to change! thank you :)

    @thevintagewriter9079 2 роки тому +3

    Congratulations on your first draft! I personally take around 1-3 month between editing a new draft, sometimes more. I am not sure it's always better to wait though, I find it that the longer I wait, the harder it is for me to edit because I get overwhelemed and feel like the entire thing is trash, idk if anyone feels the same :D So maybe if you feel like it works for you you can do at least some rough edits earlier? At the end of the day, you can edit your book how many times you feel like :)

    • @sincerelyvee
