I'm not a writer, but I think the drafting would be harder.

I adore revising–shaping that raw material.

I think that if I were a writer revisions would be the hardest because I have heard of writers having to cut out thousands or even TENS of thousands, words and that would kill me to do that.

Ooo… can I say I just don't have the discipline to be a writer? The times I've tried, my brain tries to the the drafting and revising all at once, and I give up in frustration.

I'm not a writer but revising would be the hardest for me. I would constantly keep re-writing everything lol

I love the revision process. Seeing the story go from "eh- it tells a story and it sorta makes sense" to wow! this book is so much better than I thought! is always a good experience, even if it's painful. I love editors!!

I've never actually gotten past the drafting stage when writing a book, but whenever I have to revise something for like, school or something I just HATE it so I think they're both equally hard, but for different reasons, if that makes sense.

I would think that getting everything out in a manner that pleased me would be the hardest part. It was always the hardest for me in school. Revising was always much easier, because I was just polishing rather than creating from scratch.

Hmm, I think I enjoy drafting more, but I get more satisfaction from revision. This was a really interesting post! Thanks for the backstage look at your revision process 🙂

I think drafting would be harder because it is, to my estimation, harder to create than to manipulate.

Revising!! Because there are all these different components which you have to look at critically and make sure they all work together perfectly:)

Revising would be much harder. You are having to second guess your instincts.
