Roy’s Reviews > Refuse to Be Done: How to Write and Rewrite a Novel in Three Drafts > Status Update

Liked this a lot. I polish my drafts as I go along, so I found his advice on perfecting the third draft very useful. I immediately used it as a guide during two grueling days finishing two short stories. One was 4300 words, and I thought it was done and could not be trimmed at all. After doing the work suggested in this book, it rounded out at 3800 and was not only tighter, but a better read of course.
