How I write

Every author has their own style, but I generally do add days and revision days.  

Add day, I push the story forward.  I usually write by scene so I don't break up my mojo unless the scene is not working and then I stop so I don't commit a bunch of bad words to paper.  Once the words are on paper, they tend to stay there because you build on them so change becomes difficult.  

On a revision day, I just go back through my story and reread it adding in all the good stuff.  Jim is terribly dry in my first draft.  Shart doesn't say much more than an occasional dum dum.  Badgelor says a whole lot of 'angry badger comment' until I sit down and actually go through the dialogue.  

That's generally all there is to it to get the first draft done.  I typically add around 2k words a day when I have time to write, and average about 40k words a month so far for book 5. On days I can't do 2k words, I do 1k words.  On days I can't manage that I revise.  The real trick is to keep writing.  

And for you to keep reading.
