Forgive me, for I am here to destroy your insecurities. Your excuses. That thing you do when you tell yourself that your first draft must be perfect. The illusion that great writing is born in a single moment of inspiration.
I want to destroy those things so you can get down to the business of writing. And that begins with first drafts.
First drafts tend to scare the hell out of most writers. Even the greats. Kurt Vonnegut said, “When I write, I feel like an armless, legless man with a crayon in his mouth.”
So when a writer of his caliber makes a statement like that … do you think you will be any different?

The messy first draft, which shall remain in the dungeons of darkness until revised, and sculpted into something worth releasing to the public. Nobody has to know how the hot dogs are made…
