The Process of Writing a Draft

So far I have four paragraphs, the first of which serves as more of a hook to draw people into reading. The following two paragraphs state my experiences with writing stories. The last paragraph is about my new idea to combine the chapters I've already written into one novel. After that paragraph, I hope to get into how I can improve and combine them.

While I write I'm also revising and rereading it to make sure it sounds right. This is why it's taken me an hour to write two paragraphs. In fact, it took me about that long to tear myself away from re-revising the first paragraph. Originally I had included extra details about other careers that I avoided because of their financial instability. However, I saw that they were unneeded and started to steer my draft off-topic.
