– any kind of shaming about topics or anything like that

Optional Discussion Topic: drafts

Do you have multiple drafts of a story before editing and changing it to the “perfect” document? Do you come up with twelve versions of the same scene or conversation before deciding on something entirely different? How many alternatives do you have before you come up with the definitive direction of the plot?
