Frankenstein

When I write a story, I have scenes in mind, usually pretty short, and I write them, and wind up with a horribly unweildy first draft, because it's all disjointed scenes stitched together as they are. All the body parts are there, but they are not a whole yet. I call them Frankenstein drafts. I just finished one yesterday, and today I forgot how to do it. I needed a day or so before I went back to that piece, and I started working on something else, and I couldn't flow, because I was too bent out of shape trying to make things come out smoothly the first time.
