Well done...and so true. Writing with this approach is actually a luxury, given my background in news writing, where writers are under constant deadline pressure: no time for letting words get cold, there's a deadline in 10 minutes. Now, I'm writing blogs a few hundred words at a time, letting them get cold for a day or two, then rewriting or editing with fresh eyes and less in love with my prose. Thanks!
Thanks, Ernie. That's true, and I think in today's world journalism is even more hurried. Like stories get constant online updates etc. It is indeed a luxury to revise.
Excellent teaching - thank you.

Thank you. You gave voice to what worked well for me during my first novel. I am chugging along in my first draft of my second novel.
