Andrea Phillips's Blog – June 2012 Archive (1)

As a new writer I'm finding that I need to take a break from time to time and let my brain catch up to my story.  Then all of a sudden in the middle of the night an idea will hit me of how to pick up where I left off and my story continues...is this normal?  I also find I keep going back and re-reading and re-writing what I've already written...Have you found this approach works for you or am I making more work for myself when I'll probably need my work professionally edited anyway?
