Your First Draft Is Supposed to Be Ugly

Your First Draft Is Supposed to Be Ugly

Your first draft is not a verdict, it is a raccoon digging through the trash of your imagination looking for one good sandwich. Let it be messy, lopsided, and slightly embarrassing. Nobody frames a first draft, but every finished thing you admire started as one. Keep the raccoon fed, keep your hands moving, and remember that ugly is often just early wearing work clothes.
