Inspired by a first draft

Last Nanowrimo (nanowrimo.org), I wrote a story on werewolves.  It was the last part in a trilogy of military experiment.  it was nice to end that trilogy.  It is taking more than expected to do the correction.  Usually, at this time of the year, the text had gone through a full revision.  So, I am late in doing it.  I really feel a bit late on my schedule.

On the other haned, there is a positive note.  It makes me feel the urge to write again.  There is no big idea for this year nanowrimo.  Nothing planned either.  I don't know if I will go free in the writing or if I will take a project that I already started.

I remember when I started writing.  I was not able to make a revision.  My first try at a revision was brutal and horrible.  It resulted in a long period where I was unable to work on my writng.  There was no improvement in that area.  Now, I have more knowledge.  The first step I took in my revision was grammar errors.  After that, it was the phrases.  I am not perfect but I am now able to improve my first drafts.

Doing revision is making me better.   The process also make it easier to do.  NOw, I have to work on writing a bit faster.  I know I have big projects.  I may be very ambitious.  It may be my weak point.  This is why there is a need, for me, to write faster.
