#seconddraft
Loose setup and destination
the people and the complication
discover a lot
discover full plot
second draft is the culmination.

I have my synopsis for the writing of the seconddraft

Dearheart — what milestone are you celebrating today, big or small? I want to hear it. 👇

Me: “I’m gonna be responsible today.”
My original characters: “Or… hear us out… commit emotional damage and chase morally grey chaos instead.” And I listen. Every. Single. Time. 🫠✍️

Who knew that having a full outline is actually helpful when working on the second draft?🤔

If you see this qrp your bird art!

These are pages from my previous #webcomic Side Quest, where #PeletheRow takes a bath in an ink fountain and then splatters Numskull with ink (the setting is an endless library from the OCT Second Draft)

Sadly I've never officially participated in an #OCT, but I followed quite a few since like 2008/2009, and even did a comic that was unoffically set in the same place as the tournament ( #SecondDraft ):

One beta reader described my book as "well-written" and complimented my grammar and characters.

Another reported, "Well, I've gotten through two chapters and I'm not horrified yet."

Praise pouring in from all over!

...has just finished the #seconddraft of my #novel and I am going to leave this here—I haven't celebrated yet—but it's a big achievement for me! I have 'completed a second draft' with 421 pages & 225,847 words! #ChristmasCameEarly #Writer #Soul versus #Immortal

Red Herrings are lovely, but am I smart to enough to pull one off? Well no. No I'm not. But that doesn't mean I can't try. So I did...and it just needs tweaking! #SecondDraft #Novel about a #Reincarnated #Soul being controlled by an #Immortal who seeks to claim his #FirstLove only for them to rebel!
September 22, 2025 at 8:47 PM
#MacGuffin and why didn't I think about that before? Because my brain DOESN'T work like that first time round. So yeah, I introduced the 'green glowy thing' earlier. Which'll pop up again tomorrow in my notes, twenty or so pages later! #SecondDraft #Novel #Reincarnation & #Souls

Nope. Lost momentum now. But that's okay. I'm 31 pages in & it's only day one of my #seconddraft typing up. So I'm good. Yeah. I'll take a break for now... #Editing #Novel
September 21, 2025 at 1:21 PM
Yup! Silly bollocks here is "jumping" into the #seconddraft without a break! I would, but I want to finish it...hopefully by the end of the month & then, it'll be a break before I start reaching out with feeders for an editor or a beta-reader? Which I have a couple of nibbles.. #Novel

I'm in the part that would 100% be made into a montage if my life were a movie, and what do you mean I actually have to do the work?

Can't we just put on an upbeat pop song and string together clips of me working??

Send more help/ coffee plis.

I'm working on my second draft and slowly coming to the realization that I may, in fact, be forced to write more words.

Send help.
