I love this! It's a useful reminder for writing, but it mostly reminds me of a technique my piano teacher had me use when memorizing a piece: working through it backward, line by line. Hearing each piece separately without the expectation of what comes next gives it a freshness. And by draft six, freshness may be exactly what's needed.
I always write in the morning due to my work schedule. This week I started writing after work from midnight to 1 am, holy heck! It felt so weird. I know that feeling!
This is such a clever way to revise!! It makes so much sense to me that the beginning would be easier to tackle with the back portion of the novel fresh in your mind. I love that you found a technique that made revising again more tolerable. LMK when you start querying so I can cheer you on!
I love this trick! I find jumping around in the book when revising tricks me back into a flow, too. Thx for sharing! I’m almost ready to query too. Scary! Exciting!
Oh I can feel your excitement through your words! It just fueled my desire even more to keep pushing with my writing! I know what you mean with the rigidity that we creatives often put ourselves in. I’ve learned to try to answer the call to write, and everything flows so well.
Super exciting! And a great reminder to stay open-minded and flexible about our creative processes. Thank you.

I love this concept when it comes to music. So cool!
