From first draft to second draft...?

Question: From first draft to second draft!.!.!.!?

Hi! I was curious, for those who wrote two drafts for a book, how much did your first draft differ from your second!? I've heard of some who have said that the first draft is close to a copy of the second one!. Others, however, have said that it wasn't another draft, it was a sequel!. How much did the plot change!? Did it end up being a completely different ending!? Thanks in advance for any answers! :)

It was the same, and it was different!. The first draft was pretty much bare bones, getting down everything I wanted ro say w/o much of the niceties!. It was raw but the potential practically made the pad of paper crinkle w/ electric currents!. (I always write the rough or first draft on legal pads w/ a fountain pen!. It makes the characters more alive to me as I give descriptions of them & the setting!. I can "hear" their thoughts)!. Then when I started inputting it onto the computer I fleshed the story out more!. I read the dialog out loud to test how it sounded & made corrections as well as additions & subtractions!.

I guess what I'm saying is the germane core was there, but the peripherals changed at times!. I always have a few endings in mind, but the final decision is rather nebulous until I'm satisfied close to the end & can make a decision!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Haha, I wrote a book, then I revised it!. The whole entire plot was changed!. The good guy lost and the bad guy won!. Whoever said that its a copy, must have been a completely different writer than me!.
