I just, there's something about moving things about and rearranging things and changing sentences and fixing them and making it all just work together better. Something liberating, even, because I can save the initial draft and then work on a new copy of it, so if it doesn't work out I can go back to where I was before. (I also love, LOVE, to old school cut-n-paste things. Like, print stories out, cut it all up, and paste it in a new order. There's something about the physicality of it, of literally moving the words like that. I don't know. My high school English teacher used to make fun of me because I constantly came to class with second drafts of essays all cut apart and taped onto new pieces of paper, but I've always been a very visual writer like that, I guess. I don't know.)
