When I sit down to write, I begin by rereading what I've written the last few days. I edit those pages before I go on. When I'm satisfied, I start the day's work. It's like a pitcher needing to wind up before throwing the ball.
Other times I can write for several days without rereading anything. This can happen any time during the months it takes to complete a novel, but it happens most often in the first 10,000 or so words. I'm not sure why I do this. But that's where I've been this week.
Sometimes I feel a little bit like Sisyphus. Slogging along. Hm...
