I have a question for other authors: how do you handle the following situation? My work on Wattpad and other platforms are first drafts - I write. I post. But as I continue to write, the story naturally evolves. Changes need to be made. My process is to write the first draft - just get it out of my head and onto paper before I tackle any edits. 
          	
          	I’m curious if others deal with this dilemma and how do you handle it. Do you just keep posting and once the first draft is completed, edit it and repost the whole edited story? Do you make author notes as you go along to explain scenes or situations that no longer serve the book or doesn’t fit? Do you simply not post until the entire draft is completed? 
          	
          	Thanks for any insights you share with me.

@nihadaahanna I’m glad to hear that you are writing a book as well. I will have to check if I printed off the entire copy of THS before that computer died on me years ago. If so - I can definitely start posting it again. Thanks💕

sorry  not trying to demand anything, just genuinely curious. I've found that books from around 2013 to 2017 tend to be really great. They focus more on reality instead of just handing out the typical happy endings. That's the kind of writing I want to read more of.
