Write On

that’s the ticket

So, you want your first draft to be a masterpiece.  Welcome to the world of fantasy.  I’ve had client after client hesitate in writing their extraodinary works because they don’t want the first draft to be a big fat mess.  Here’s a hint on what the first draft should be…it’s really complicated now, so read this very slowly and carefully…the first draft should be….huh, hum…THE…FIRST…DRAFT!!!  In other words, if you’re waiting for perfect weather before you go to work on your novel - that day may never come.

I’m asked constantly how I write so many books in such a short period of time.  My response is that I write all the time.  While others are watching television, I’m writing.  The t.v. may be on, sure, but so is my computer. 

Here’s the gest of it all, don’t be the editor when you’re supposed to be the writer.  Writers write!  Editors edit!  Understand that you might need to have 99 drafts before your work is finished, but you will be one finished book closer than someone who is still waiting around to get started.  Write on and on and on and on and on and on-
