MCV 30 Under 30 2021 
Anyone got any tips for being okay with shitty first drafts? I need to break my habit of endless revision, but I'm seemingly incapable of making progress if I hate what I have so far... which I almost always do.

I'm not scattershot on first drafts, I do think ahead and do some planning, but I allow myself to add in scenes I'm maybe not sure about or try things out. First drafts are for experimenting really. Be messy, that's the whole point!
I'm the same; I hate going in with my eyes shut. Need to have the imminent scenes mapped out at the very least. It's just the prose aspect that's tripping me... I know what I want to write, but not how I want to write it, and I'm afraid of being messy. But messy is good.
