Mark Smith asked Sharon Atkinson:

Hi Sharon, Do you type or write long-hand? Also, how do you edit first drafts? Do you have a daily writing habit? Kind regards, Mark

Sharon Atkinson What I generally do is write longhand. I then type up, using my laptop. When it comes to my first edits, I use a programme called "Test Document Readability". This points out where certain sentences does not read well. I normally do it chapter by chapter. I print it out with the chapter and highlight the sentence that doesn't read well and read through it making my first edits in a different colour pen as I go. I do this with all chapters depending on how long my WIP is.

I unfortunately do not have a daily writing plan, I just wish I did.

I apologise that this has taken over a year to reply to you, I unfortunately had not seen this and I certainly was not notified I was asked a question. I hope this helps you.
