The Infamous Vomit Draft
There are lots of enemies we have to battle as writers. One of the most ferocious ones is self-editing. Self-editing is the tendency to edit as you go, to clean up and try to perfect your writing while you’re creating it.
The big problem with self-editing is that you’re trying to use your right and left brain at the same time. The right brain focuses on creative activities, and the left brain focuses on logic and reason. The reason you get stuck when trying to create a draft and edit it at the same time is because these two sides are constantly fighting with each other.
On today’s episode, you’ll learn how to keep from self-sabotaging and use your creative and editing skills to your advantage.
