Over a year ago, I jokingly reported about some of the flavours of the Rush-The-Process dish. I'm talking about those scenarios where writers are in such a hurry to submit their work for publications that they skip vital steps in the editing or publication process.
In that post, I spoke about the ones who only have family and friends looking at their work, not other writers or editors. I spoke about the ones who take editorial reports and stick to the most basic of rewrites. Then there are those who submit to agents and publishers unfinished works, only to go into full panic mode when they get the request for fulls. And my personal favourite: upload to Amazon without editing at all, because they supposedly can't afford it.
But there are some other flavours to this Rush-The-Process dish that also requires some attention.
