>tfw you finally write a book and you begin editing it, cutting

Nice, I like this feel too

Noob question: Is it better to edit it after you write it completely or to edit it as you go, chapter per chapter?

Editing is like going on a cut after a bulk. It's painful and you are always in a bad mood, but the beauty in all that work you did starts to emerge and it's amazing.

write it out so you can't scrap it as easily

i prefer chapter by chapter but a final edit after everything's done is also necessary with this method.

>tfw you write something and try to edit it but all you're doing is changing a few words around and it feels like you're not really doing enough
how do you do it

Depends on how you learn to write.
Americans tend to learn to just write write write and then edit.
The British will usually edit chapter to chapter.

that might very well mean that it's at least not offensively bad

alright, i'll bite. what do you want to know?

>>7849150
doubt you'll see this now but oh well.
I just want to know what others do to discipline themselves to write.

i'm still here. i use a program called Freedom by 80 Percent that turns off your internet for a set amount of time. changing location by going to write at the libary helps me and so does setting a regular time to write. delaying rewards like "i can play sky force after i've written."
