Historically I’ve found finishing a first draft much more creatively demanding than rewriting second and third drafts. Different writers have different preferences and in this episode I share my thoughts on committing to finishing Draft 1. I cover:- Letting go of perfectionism in order to move ideas from a concept to words on the page.- Devotion and discipline when it comes to showing up and putting in the work.- How frustrating it can be when your creativity feels like a slog.- Committing to being a devoted writer even when you don’t feel like an inspired writer.This episode was originally recorded in September 2020.
