Anyone who tells you they don't need to rewrite, they're usually the ones who need it worst.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I always rewrite each day up to the point where I stopped. When it is all finished, naturally you go over it. You get another chance to correct and rewrite when someone else types it, and you see it clean in type. The last chance is in the proofs. You're grateful for these different chances.
I used to think it was hard to write, and I still find the process more or less unpleasant, but if I know what I'm doing it rattles along, then the rewrite whips it into shape rather quickly.
When I write something, I constantly rewrite.
Writing for me is largely about rewriting.
Oh, I do a tremendous amount of rewriting. I just obsessively rewrite. Although sometimes there are sections, sometimes you're just lucky and a paragraph will just kind of come out. And that's great. But that's not ordinary in a day's work.
Get your butt in a chair and write. If it comes out weak or bad or clunky or ordinary, then accept that this happens to everyone. Everyone. Get it down, get it done, and fix it in the rewrite. Just like everyone from Stephen King to J. K. Rowling to Chuck Palahniuk does.
I don't find writing easy. That is because I do take great care; I rewrite a lot.
I'm a perfectionist - I could rewrite forever.
I don't really revise. I tend to rewrite.
I don't do rewrites. I put all the pages in a pile next to the typewriter.
