Haha, it's just nice to hear that other people are in the same boat. I mean, I know they are, but it's still nice ;)
I've asked my boyfriend to read what I've done so far - it should help. I'm at the editing/tailoring stage now, which I find almost more difficult to concentrate for as after a day a writing you can't look at your work objectively anymore!
It's often easier when you're writing, to cut your day into 2. In the afternoon, write. In the morning, edit and tailor from yesterday. I'm a professional writer (who just got my doctorate at 66!) and sorting out the best way to write long documents is something I've had to do for my working life. This one certainly works best for me. It means that I edit/tighten as I go along, and also helps the afternoon writing session, as I've had a catch-up with the themes and general tone. It also makes me enthusiastic to keep at it, and means that if I get really wrapped up in what I'm writing, I can go on until bed time, if I have to.
