Writing the First Draft

For the next part of this series let’s discuss the pesky first draft. By now you should have put a lot of work into preparing for this moment. It’s time to release the floodgates, and let all those great ideas you have out through your fingers onto the keyboard. Momentum is so important at this point. In fact the most important thing you can do is keep going until the first draft is done.

Here’s a great article that can help you with the first draft: Go Into The Story – How I Write A Script, Part 8: First Draft

I don’t have much to add to this. The article is a great read, and it’s very straightforward. Just remember, it’s okay to make mistakes. The important thing is not to get stuck. This is a sprint, not a marathon.

Thanks for stopping by! A few things about me. I've been an L.A. local for my whole life, and I spend my days working here at front desk of theOffice. My number one goal here is to fill this blog feed full of things that will motivate and inspire writers, and to give you all an occasional laugh. I'm a lover of science and technology, geek culture, and video games. If anything inspires you as a writer, I'd love to hear about it!
