what does reading it again at this stage give you that, y'know, recently finishing writing it doesn't?
Short answer: I have no idea what the book is about, so I need to read it to find out.
Longer answer: What I was doing at the last was writing connecting scenes, laying in subplots and asking Steve to write specific scenes. I was, in a word, down in the Details, and have no idea if the over-story works as a story, or even how all the pieces eventually fit together.
It's an odd mind-space, and not easy to explain. I frequently finish a day's writing without any very clear knowledge of what I've written. Which is why every day's writing session starts off with me reading what I did yesterday.
