Inside the Mind of a Snowflaker: Shocking Confessions You Won’t Believe
Randy: How long did it take you to write the first draft of your novel, and were you surprised at how long it took (or how fast it went)?
Geoff: I began the first draft during the summer of 2016, mostly writing in the early morning. It was slow going. During the fall as my work schedule got busier I just couldn’t sustain the early mornings so the first draft stalled and I wrote very little until January of 2017 when I hit my stride. I found a rhythm that worked for me, writing mostly in the evenings. By May 2018 I finished the 80,000 word manuscript. I was surprised at how quickly it went once I found my rhythm. I was also surprised about how much fun it was to write that first “no-looking-back” draft.
