Check-In – Day 24

[samuraiter]

I apologize in advance, but, due to the daffiness of my schedule, the check-in posts are going to be all over the map this week. Might be early in the morning, might be late at night, might be smack in the middle of the day! But they will be there. What have you been doing?

— Thinking. Maybe a little, maybe a lot.
— Writing.
— Outlining, planning, and / or prewriting.
— Researching and / or revisiting canon.
— Editing.
— Sending things to the beta.
— Posting!
— Relaxing, taking a break, etc.
— Other stuff-ing. Look at the comments.

Question: How many drafts does it typically take you to get a story to come out the way you want?
