Kate Cavanaugh Writes | It's okay to start over. @KateCavanaugh | Uploaded March 2023 | Updated October 2024, 12 hours ago.
It's time for a little writing pep talk on this eve of Camp NaNoWriMo: it's okay to start over! It's okay to need multiple drafts. And it's okay if your writing process doesn't look like others.
0:00 when to start over, ft. camp nano, weird YouTube comments, etc.
3:53 thoughts on another draft of project death
7:11 writing is rewriting (but what, exactly, does rewriting entail??)
9:39 how many drafts do you need?
12:18 versions vs. drafts
15:09 questions for youuu!
☟↓ QUESTIONS FOR YOU BELOOOOOW! ↓☟
D I S C U S S I O N Q U E S T I O N S :
What does "starting over" mean to you? Is that merely going back to the beginning? Is it scrapping all the previous work and metaphorically tossing it into the dumpster?
Tell me about time when you started over on a project! :)
How many drafts of a story do you usually write before it's "complete"? (Or does it change every time for you? It does for me! Some genres need more drafts than others bahaha.)
How do you define rewriting? What does that stage look like for you? How often do you rewrite your project?
What do you think of a "version" vs. a "draft" of a story?
