The First Draft Is Not Crap: No Matter How Far From Perfect It Might Seem (book by Bryan Hutchinson)

DO NOT EDIT WHILE YOU WRITE!
EDIT WHEN YOU'RE DONE!

There is still hope in humanity. We just need to stand our ground and play our role.

✍ "There's something about shadows because you make your own mind up about what's lurking in them." (Richard O'Brien)

Romance is not my cup of tea. I am an intuitive writer and fond of thrillers, mysteries, action, and crime genres. I prefer writing stories about family, friendship, justice, self-love, and personal development. (I don't know why but every time I try to write some romance, it gets dark as the story progresses. Is it just me who experience the same? Maybe, it is just really not my thing. But yeah, I am trying.)

I wish to impart values in people's lives and that is the very reason why I write. As an INFJ, I really struggle a lot in writing each draft because I always edit what I had done and because of the perfectionist in me, it ends with me not finishing a single draft due to so much revisions. But I learned a very important reminder that I wished I know when I was just starting to write and that is to NEVER EDIT WHILE YOU WRITE. It helped me a lot and I can say that I have already made a lot of progress ever since.

As a writer, there is nothing more painful than losing the draft that you have worked for so many nights of brainstorming and contemplating. I am still working on it and I hope there is still a chanc...
