Yes…it’s that time of year again…the time where I am so snowed under (metaphorically, since I live in California) that I have to revisit an old favorite post instead of writing something original. But, since I’m sort of in the process of first-drafting, I thought I’d go back to one of my favorite Handy Pie Charts. So here you go:
It’s interesting to look back on the original post, because I referenced a problem manuscript I’d been working on during NaNoWriMo, and I’m almost positive that problem child was Underneath–which is now, like, an actual book and everything. It just goes to show you: don’t abandon that first draft without giving it a fair shake–even if you feel like this when you’re working on it:

hideous problems you’ve set yourself; you are horribly aware of the
minute size of your own talent compared to the colossal proportions of
the task you’ve undertaken. – Philip Pullman
