Just a little quicky post today.
I'm back in the writing game and working out plot elements and scenes for the third book in the Immortalis series and I keep finding myself typing out stuff and then deleting it.
Not a good idea!! Writers, don't do this to your first drafts. Let the story come out organically. Let it flow from imagination to paper.
It's ok to write bad in a first draft. First drafts always suck. They are not what will get published.
Constant spot editing and scene perfecting comes later, after the story is written. If you don't get the whole story down, you will never do it.
So, I say this as much to myself as to you others out there struggling with a first draft. Write the story as it comes, whether it sucks or not, just get it down on paper. It can always be edited or fixed later.
Thank you, that is all. =)
