How many drafts should you go through before deciding your novel is ready?

There's no specific (official) number, but to create a foundation that ensures you don't burn out quickly, overwork yourself, and get tired of your work, I'll say four. It's the same number I use for my students since most of them have other engagements outside writing that take up a copious amount of their time.

1. Initial or Zero Draft:

This draft is also called the 'just write' draft. Focus on putting that idea down. As the creative juices flow, let it all out. Don't worry about perfection or coherence; the goal is to capture your raw ideas and get the story out of your head and onto the page.

2. Second Draft:

This is the plot draft. Read through what you have written to see if every detail you added was meant to be. Here, you focus on the structure of your story. Ensure that the plot makes sense, the pacing is right, and there are no major plot holes. This is where you might add, remove, or rearrange scenes to improve the overall flow of the narrative.

3. Third Draft:

Character development draft. In this stage, you look deeper into your characters. Make sure their motivations, backgrounds, and arcs are well-defined and consistent. Flesh out their personalities and relationships, ensuring they are compelling and believable. This is also a good time to refine dialogue and make sure it sounds natural and true to each character. That's for this drafting stage.

4. Fourth Draft:

Grammar and punctuation draft. This is the polishing stage. Focus on correcting grammatical errors, punctuation, and spelling mistakes. Pay attention to sentence structure, word choice, and overall readability. This draft is about making your manuscript as clean and professional as possible.

Keep in mind that the goal is to define what completion means for each draft. Once you reach the goal, take a break and return to it for the next drafting stage.

Some writers pay people to carry out some of the drafting stages for them, so if you fall into that category, you might have fewer drafting stages to handle yourself!

Reblog to save for later 😉

Thank you all for the support 💜!

i can’t even be bothered making a funny ironic post for april fool’s day because my subconscious mind literally april fooled me this morning by making me have a dream that we were getting a new twdg-adjacent video game centered specifically on ben. the premise makes waaaaay less sense now that i’m awake and rational but it was like… a character study esque thing with a vague fantasy setting? and it was supposed to be an adventure game as opposed to a choice oriented one 😭 so obviously completely different from the actual original games both conceptually and visually (hard to describe the change in art style but the models were a lot less comic-esque and more whimsical and slightly… cutesy/simplistic in comparison? for lack of a better word? but it looked nice!) and probably set in an entirely separate universe. but travis was a major character (my friends were showing me every leak and promo they could find with him in it, thanks guys) which meant new content of both of my faves as well as the rest of the s1 cast

woke up thinking “i’m so excited!!!” and then as i gained consciousness it started dawning on me like a dramatic slow realization in a horror movie or smth. and then my stomach started hurting and then i got a brief headache because i was so pissed. never recovering from this. why would i do that to myself. sick and twisted

Witchy Book Recommendations

Whether it be a beginner's guide to spells, a devotional to a Hellenic deity, a novel explaining the scientific and cultural teachings of plants that come together into a spiritual philosophy, or even a good read on scrying with crystals, these are some witchy book recommendations! Please enjoy!

Disclaimer: I haven't read all of these in their entireties, but I was able to verify them as good sources in general with that in mind. Some of these stories lean towards specific cultural philosophies or religions, but all can be learned from in the world of witchcraft, so I included them! I have lots of resources (books, websites, videos, and more) not included in this post that are about various religious and spiritual practices, and witchy crafts, which I'll post in the future, so please send me any requests or follow to stay tuned! Thank you so much, have a good time reading!
