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 need to just get the whole thing down, then I can spend as long as I like later fiddling with it and writing it 'well'. Except that entire concept scares the hell out of me. I'm trying to do it now and I keep finding excuses to... not.

Basically I'm asking for permission to write badly and for reassurance that doing so will not make me a bad writer

In college we called our first drafts “word vomit.” Just getting it out is all that matters - you can pretty it up later :) What you can do in revisions makes you a good writer

"What you can do in revisions makes you a good writer" - this is what I needed to hear, thank you I just keep telling myself that there's this 'permissible' word vomit which is much better than mine, and that I'm somehow the exception to the rule

Nope! I’ve got drafts sitting on my desktop right now that I cringe to think about, but it’s alllll good

For me, letting shit writing exist is like letting a t-rex rampage through my house and trying to tell myself it's not there whilst simultaneously spending all my physical energy hiding from it
