Worry about perfecting your writing later; for now, just write.<BR/><BR/>Nancy: Thank you. :) That's what first drafts are supposed to be like. :) What matters is that you get it all sorted out after that first draft is written.Dawn Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291423272908722351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599152.post-87585990237216002932009-02-20T10:59:00.000-08:002009-02-20T10:59:00.000-08:00you are so right!

Mine are always an insane mess. I change names in the midst. I will simply jot down things like, "in this scene such and such will happen...". I jump all around....<BR/><BR/>As you said- it's all about getting it out on paper. <BR/><BR/>You have to embrace first drafts with a healthy dose of humor. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
