246. Why your first draft doesn’t have to be perfect

246. Why your first draft doesn’t have to be perfect

Completing the first draft of a book is crucial, and you want your manuscript to be the best it can be. It’s hard not to stop and edit what you just wrote. You start backtracking by making little improvements here and there, and perfectionism starts to creep in. Your writing stalls and burnout becomes a real thing. Publishing seems so far away! How do you keep moving forward?

Join me in this episode as I discuss essential approaches to maintaining writing momentum—like establishing a solid outline and saving revisions for after the draft is complete. Even gathering community support plays a vital role, especially when struggling with self-doubt and lagging commitment to accomplish what you started out to do. With the right approach, you can successfully reach your goal—and complete that first draft without perfection getting in the way.
If you’re struggling with momentum, this episode will help you narrow your focus and get you back on track in your writing journey.
