I agree that zero drafts are so different from the next one, zero drafts are to get a general idea down after you wrote the zero draft you have to write the whole story again, with the concept of draft zero. The first draft is the draft that can be edited upon. The stages I used to edit my first draft are: first major plotholes and scenes edits, second grammar edits, then letting beta-readers go over it, after that line edits, and at last rereading it. I just wanted to let you know that this works for me. So for everyone editing drafts, you can try this!

Currently editing my first draft of my novel as well and I so feel you on the continuity errors. I have MANY and I made a timeline spreadsheet of the life events before and during as well. WHY. You're not alone on that one. My whole first draft is very info dumpy as well so I feel you.

I've realised the same thing lately that my editing needs to be more substantial and less surface level in order to improve what I want to say. Apparently my first drafts are zero drafts haha.
@smileycrs

Same ! This entire posting my editing videos has taught me what a zero draft is and made me realize how much it sucks to edit one lol

There really are so many ways to edit and it definitely takes a while to work out what works best for you.

It’s definitely a slower and more in depth process than I thought it would be! But I’m think I’m getting the hang of it :)

I don't use wattpad anymore, it doesn't feel the same 😭 but I do use a site called KindleVella
@smileycrs

I’ve also heard of that! But I was under the impression it was one of those sites where you had to “pay coins” to read so I wasn’t really sure if that would work well with an unknown author. I’m interested to hear your experience (with reading or putting your work on :) )!

Hi. I love your vlogs, and as for looking for readers, do what you think is best. There is no harm in asking a friend who is good with words or even an Alpha or beta readers will also do. For me, I basically post my chapters on a book app, where people can read it all over the world. Plus, once you reach a certain amount of people on the app, you can apply for a contract with them to get paid. Unfortunately, I have been struggling with my werewolf story for over a year now. Thought that I could write four chapters each month, where I failed because of my health problems and my day job that plays around with my creative writing time. Cheers until your next vlog.

I feel like my struggle might lie in the fact I’m not confident in my work so I’m not ready for people who know me to read it yet and judge my abilities if that makes sense? I think if I do anything it’ll be anonymous for the time being haha. What app do you use to share your story? I’d love to look into something I could get paid for to help me along! And omg I also have a werewolf story in the works! Four chapters a month is very ambitious so honestly I’m amazed you even accomplished that for even a little bit! Good luck in your writing, maybe we’ll see each other’s names on books in the future 🤍
