Really glad accomplished mathematicians such as @wtgowers and @AlexKontorovich are tweeting this. Everyone, even the most accomplished, gets stuck doing mathematics: "being good at math is being good at being stuck".https://twitter.com/wtgowers/status/1376559167868141573 …

Interested what counts as a "draft" for this purpose? Are you counting every time you delete & re:write a paragraph, or is this a count of start to end passses, where some points could be rewritten a half dozen times in one pass?

I deleted one chapter and started from scratch I believe 6 times (7 in total). Each overall draft was revised end-to-end maybe 5-10 times. So maybe ~50-60ish revisions for that chapter. (It's the one I had recently finished when I asked the question.)
