Well, that’s my hope, anyway! I’ve had my share of revisions that end up making the writing worse, for sure! :-}

I do have to say that I have tried writing a bad first draft intentionally. And I do mean, the absolute worst ways I could think of and still be read-able — and it was gawd-awfully hilarious. I laughed until I felt better, actually. It ended up being pretty good therapy!

Thanks for your response. I’m really glad you found the article helpful.

Those little bursts of endorphins you receive from completing a task may help move you on to the next one. It helps in creative endeavors as well as just general mundane tasks. The tip for simply writing a bad draft is good, too. You only improve it from there, right? LOL
