Lesser-known steps of the writing process:
- Finding all the paragraphs where you used some hyper-specific word more than once
- Rearranging paragraphs that you swear you wrote in the right order but turned out to be totally backwards
- Going for a walk, coming up with the perfect line, and forgetting it as soon as you get home and open your laptop
- Creating a separate document where you can dump all of those nice sentences that no longer fit in anywhere
- Waking up in a cold sweat because so-and-so was supposed to be barefoot but never actually took his shoes off
