Drafting Tip: Before you make a big change in your WIP, save your current version of it in a separate document. You never know when you’re going to go “That scene I deleted a few weeks ago would actually work really well after all this new action…” and trust me, you’ll feel much better with yourself if all you have to do is open an old document and Copy+Paste, vs realizing you deleted it and it’s gone, baby, gone. 

That gone-baby-gone feeling is…soul-crushing.
