Quick, quick, slow

Draft 2 of the WIP is a slow process, or that’s how it seems. My current method goes like this:

1. Check outline (though this is pretty much in my head) for what my next scene will be
2. Look at Draft 1a or 1b (so many already!) and identify something I’ve written previously that will do the job
3. Copy and paste
4. Read through and congratulate myself on my speed and efficiency
5. Sleep on it
6. Decide the new scene won’t do
7. Rewrite the scene, slowly and carefully 

I do sometimes skip steps 1 to 6, but I just hate to think my efforts first time round were wasted. In fact today I have carried over another complete scene with just a few tweaks and feel sure it’s fine. Check back tomorrow for the verdict!
