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.

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

Key takeaways: 1. Try handwriting it so that it's harder to edit 2. Try using an editor with bad formatting and no features to fully embrace the chaos 3. "What you can do in revisions makes you a good writer"

I think there's value in vomiting up a draft for structure and then going back and punching it up for flow, characterization, etc. It's hard but getting comfortable in the ugliness of first drafts is liberating. All part of the process.

Seconding the part about handwriting. I find the transition between long-form writing and typing helps me see what's good and what isn't, time after time. Sometimes a scribbled line feels paltry until you type it out and the words solidify on screen.

Similar to what I do. Physically write it in a notebook first—accept that this version sucks. Studies show physically writing things makes it easier to get stuff out. Then every once in a while type up a few chapter in the computer and naturally rewrite it as you go.
