If you’ve followed me for a while, you’ll know that I’m not a fan of ”just getting words down” as a way of writing a first draft.
I prefer to think about what I’m writing, putting care into the first draft and editing as I go. This means the first draft is usually pretty good and editing is quick.
But a lot of people say they find just getting words down to be a useful way of getting their ideas out of their head and onto the page. I actually agree with the principle of this, I just do it differently in practice
In this video, I share how I approach the rough draft stage in a way that’s more flexible, more effective and so much faster that it could save you months and several rounds of revisions.
