Hey Mastodon, here is a quote that I needed and maybe you did too:
"WRITE IT BADLY. Write it badly, write it badly, write it badly, write it badly. Stop what you’re doing, open a Word document, put a pencil on some paper, just get the idea out of your head. Let it be good later. Write it down now. Otherwise it will die in there."
— Brandon Sanderson on overcoming writer’s block to create a first draft as a professional author
@emaree I've been stuck on an introduction for over a month because it was never quite perfect. I gave up on writing the perfect intro to my chapter this morning and accepted that it would be shite for now, but figured that at least the chapter would be complete
@guigui3000 YESSS GOOD ON YOU! It's very easy to fall into the trap of tweaking the first page/chapter for agggeees, you've doing great by recognising the trap and moving on.
basically, thanks for posting the quote. It's good inspiration. :)
