Tolkien would write, not knowing what was going to happen, and then when he found himself stuck, he would stop and start over. He wouldn’t refer to the original manuscript, but would just start writing again. He would get further the second time, but eventually he would get stuck yet again. And he would start over yet again, until he finally got all the way through. He didn’t cut and paste. He just rewrote until he got it right. I should try that. I will try that with the Grelko story. I’ll see where it brings me this time.
