Today’s Writing Quote
“One thing that helps is to give myself permission to write badly. I tell myself that I’m going to do my five or 10 pages no matter what, and that I can always tear them up the following morning if I want. I’ll have lost nothing — writing and tearing up five pages would leave me no further behind than if I took the day off.”
— Lawrence Block
Permission to write badly… a basic tenet of the zero draft approach.

Today’s Loos Award winner: Anita Brandt Burgoyne.
Honor the first draft, even a zero draft. As I always say, the first draft is a journey of discovery. Give yourself over to it. See where it takes you.
Respect the first draft. You are cutting trail. Forging new territory.
Onward.
