Do u keep all of your rough draft 2 or should I throw them away????

Aww thats cute (:
Umm well i write myne in a book, so if i have a rough one, yeah i keep it.. i stick it on the page next to the one where ive written the better copy.. i always write on every second page,so i can just stick it on the back of the one i wrote before, they are good to keep, it shows you how much you can improve (: well i rekon anywayys :P

I always save the rough drafts. They'll be worth lots of money someday. besides, when I'm writing an amature's poem, it's good to have the bad ones ready.

I'm writing a novel, but I keep the rough draft and the typewritten one both, in case I lose one. Once they're published, then I plan to get rid of them.

Keep your rough draft you may need it! I keep mine.

When you have finally finished your work - when it's published or whatever - do you really need to keep the "Draft 2: It was a dark and stormy night... (cross out night)... It was a dark and stormy evening... (Cross out dark and replace with gloomy)... It was a gloomy and stormy evening... (does this work?)" ?

I have precisely this conundrum. Conflict between wanting to keep the rough draft (so much work went into this, it's an old friend etc) and realising that keeping all the draft 2s creates a tremendous pile of paper/files.

The real question is: Is there something in the draft 2s that you DIDN'T USE IN YOUR FINAL COPY BUT WHICH YOU THINK/BELIEVE/SUSPECT WILL COME IN USEFUL IN ANOTHER WORK LATER ON? If so, definitely keep your draft 2s. But don't store it 'with the other rough drafts'. Put it in a place where you keep your Future Writing Ideas. The old staple was the Writer's Inspiration Notebook; the modern version would be a computer directory kept for such a purpose.

Thats adorable, yea, I do, It's best incase you need them for some reason in the future

i only keep them if they are really good if it is bad i throw it in the bin
