Hi everyone! I've written a short story or two simply for my own enjoyment, but I have been working on a novel for some time now and am merely a chapter or so away from finishing it. So what next? I have been told that often a first time author writes a first draft and thinks it's a masterpiece, then scraps nearly the whole thing realizing it's trash. Obviously I hope mine is not trash and I don't believe it is, but how do I go about revising and editing my first draft without getting too attached to my original writing? Any advice would be helpful!
