Write it Now. Book 7 - The First Draft (Write Your Novel or Memoir. A Series Guide For Beginners, #7)
Description
This little book number 7 assumes that you have done all the necessary preparation. Now it is time to write the first draft of your work.
First draft? Yes, no matter how good you are it will be the first. It will need editing and changing later.
So because it is a draft, you should try to write it as fast as you can. Since it will need editing anyway, don't edit as you go. Don't worry too much about it, it doesn't have to be perfect right away. Getting the story down is what is important at this stage.
Write it as quickly and as often as you can. This technique will unlock the creative part of your brain. You should be aware that writing is creative; editing is not. They use different parts of the brain. Trying to do both at once will stifle creativity.
Write now! Edit later! Write fast!
