Going Deeper

In general, I move fast in my first drafts. My focus is on the characters and the action, figuring out who is doing what and why. Sure, I've become more of a planner in recent years, but I'm still not much of one. If I have the BS2 half-filled in with a paragraph for most of the beats and a sentence for two or three more, I'm ready to go. Depth is for the second draft.

My first drafts are fairly clean as far as grammar and typos go, but they're still a far cry from publishable for this...
