Episode 85: Writers, Here's Your Permission to Write A Messy First Draft

Send us a text

Write the messy first draft. Write, write, and write some more. Let your ideas flow and don't look back until you get to the end. The first draft is about getting your ideas on paper and then you'll have something to work with. It's not the time to edit or censor yourself.

Write the messy first draft. It's normal to have self-doubt creep in and try to distract you from your writing. Keep writing.

This episode is your permission to write the messy first draft. It's for your eyes only, unless you choose to share it, so write, write, and write some more.
