Book Writing
Hello.
I have a couple of questions. If I posted in the wrong section or subreddit, please delete it.
I have been writing all of my life, some short zombie/horro/ stories here and there, but now I'm old, and I've decided to give it a shot and write something bigger than a short story.
Now I have finished around 100 A4 pages, and this thing looks massive to me, but the problem is I write and do not look back on what I wrote. Yesterday I read all of it, and it is a complete mess. With short stories, like 10 pages, it wasn't a problem, but when these things get bigger and bigger, it is a problem.
How do you handle it? Do you read immediately after you finish your writing session, or how do you do that? And sometimes I think about something in the book and start adding things in the middle.
Or after you finish your writing, do you give it to someone to make it readable and pleasant for the reader? Or is it completely normal to write everything that comes to mind, and after you feel that you've finished the book, reread it and edit it?
Sorry for the dumb questions.
Thank you. Cheers, people!
