The 50 Drafts Project

"The work you're writing is worth your attention and it really is in revision that you're going to find something meaningful and useful"
-Antonya Nelson

This is a project that aims to explore the art of revision by writing fifty drafts of the same short story. Each version is written with a single objective in mind. These objectives will focus on a single element of storytelling, whether that be specific character exercises, experimentation with plot, use of poetic devices, etc.

My hope is that this exercise will help me grow as a writer and provide useful ideas and resources to those looking to take their writing and editing to the next level
