Exploring some difficult themes in my new book with one character's backstory that she tells throughout the narrative. Hitting a little close to home, but I'm finding it therapeutic. Here's something cute to make me feel better. #writingcommunity #writers #writing #firstdraft

The unfinished book

#Authors, be honest:

What’s the one thing keeping you from finishing your current book?

Plot? Motivation? Time? Editing? That one chapter you keep rewriting? 😂

Tell me. No judgment.

I was able to hash out the basic plot points of the past storyline of my novel that focuses on the elderly lady the MFC cares for. I want these experiences to bring out strength and confidence in my MFC. In lieu of winter, here's a bear. #writerscommunity #writing #firstdraft #writers

Anyone else get nervous before writing a certain scene?

The conversation ahead is a bit intimidating. I just gotta keep reminding myself that it's the first draft and it's supposed to be bad

If you’ve recently finished a first draft, congratulations. Getting to the end is an achievement in itself. What comes next for you: revisions, developmental editing, or beta readers?

I worked on character profiles last night and named two characters. Does anyone else struggle with thinking of last names? In other news, here's an axolotl. #writingcommunity #writing #firstdraft #writers

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

Imagine showing a bowl of batter to someone who has never baked a cake. They might doubt that batter would ever become a "real" cake.

Batter doesn't look like cake; it can't. It's just a baker's first draft. Keep writing!

Your first draft is gonna be pure trash. Yoda already called it. Stop overthinking, open the doc, and vomit the words out. Awful is the starting line. Just start, padawan.

The First Draft

A first draft doesn't have to be beautiful. It just has to exist. 📖

What part of your first draft are you most excited to rewrite?

#WritingCommunity #AmWriting #FirstDraft #Writersky #AuthorSky

Finishing a draft is proof that your story exists.
It doesn't have to be perfect yet.

I mean, at least you know I actually wrote it, and not one of our new machine overlords? That’s the silver lining I’ve decided to take out of these moments.

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

~ Will Shetterly

#writingquotes #writing #writingcommunity #WillShetterly #firstdraft

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?
