Drafts & Revisions

Posted by R. A. Michaels on August 19th, 2006

Sometimes, when I post a work in progress on my main blog page, it might have the words ‘Draft Zero’ below it. Other writers may refer to this kind of draft as a first or rough draft, but I prefer to use numbers in my editing process. For example, each new draft, or rather a draft that was started from scratch, is a draft zero.

I’ll write more about my revision process, later.
