Your first draft doesn’t have to be perfect. When I say don’t write until you know the story you’re telling and can pitch that story out loud..... that story doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to be complete and good enough to start. By the time you finish a draft you may change your mind about decisions you made and go back fix what isn’t working and that’s okay! No first draft is a masterpiece. It’s a start. These tools are guides to help you not strangle you!
The reason I am so adamant about structuring first is because if you don’t have a solid road map you will get lost in the woods of your second act and never finish. The goal is to finish a draft. Not a perfect draft. Just the first one.
