What’s the best thing about being a writer?

2. Everyone’s impressed by “Writer” and “Author” as a career descriptor. “What do you do?” “Oh, I’m a Writer.” “Ooh!!!” Little do they know writing is 10% ripping off obscure stuff, 5% dumb luck you can credit as divine intervention, and 85% self-doubt.(less)

1. The first draft is ALWAYS shit. No exceptions. Yes, even if it reads good as you write it. No good book in the history of mankind was written without editing. The magic is in the sculpting, not the outline.

2. Write first, ask questions later. Never edit during. Just copy the outline in prose format as fast as you can. If you stop or slow, your progress slows and the work suffers. And you will be able to notice it.(less)
