In this episode of How Not to Write, join your host Janae as we dive into the often daunting, yet exhilarating world of drafting. Overcoming the blank page can be one of the biggest challenges for any writer, but it doesn’t have to be a roadblock. We’ll explore practical tips for getting started, like breaking down the task into bite-sized goals, tackling scenes you’re passionate about, and the importance of writing consistently to build momentum.
Discover why embracing imperfection is crucial during the drafting phase. We’ll talk about how the first draft is an opportunity for exploration, where worrying about perfection can stifle creativity. Instead, give yourself the freedom to write badly and focus on getting your story out.
We’ll also delve into strategies for maintaining progress, such as setting achievable word count goals, using timers for dedicated writing sprints, and writing out of order to keep your inspiration flowing. Whether you’re a seasoned writer or just starting out, this episode is packed with insights to help you conquer your fears and transform that blank page into a vibrant, compelling draft. Tune in and let’s conquer the blank page together!
