It is better to write a bad first draft than to write no first draft at all.

ur first draft doesn't need to be perfect.
It doesn't even need to be good.
Its only job is to exist.
You can fix plot holes, awkward dialogue, and weak scenes later.
You can't edit a story that was never written.
How's your current draft going?

The first draft is a skeleton .… just bare bones. The rest of the story comes later with revising.
