How I write: I start at the beginning, or the middle or the end, & keep going until it's finished. I don't have plot points or chapter titles prewritten- I let stories tell themselves.

How I edit: I often reread as I write & make changes as I go. When I'm done with a story, I go the beginning and read through it. I then check for -ly' words (like 'really' 'definitely', etc) and delete them wherever possible. During this reading I'm also on the lookout for overused terms. After all of that, I listen to the story with a text-to-speech tool to catch pieces that don't sound right.

How I draw: I don't. Sadly, this is NOT a strong point of mine. At all. Even a little. My stick figures have all been hospitalized due to inherent malformations of their bodily structures.
