What would I even do if I decide to write my story out?
I've had an idea for a very, very long time, and I've kicked it around and readjusted this and that and other normal things you'd do with an idea.
Let's say I write it all out, start to finish, sweat and tears and all.
What would I do next? Revise it, edit, nitpick until satisfied, and then what?
Don't get me wrong, it'd be fantastic to finally flesh it out, but I just feel like it'd sit in my computer.
