"Rough it Up: For a Better First Draft, Get Messy!"
Ernest Hemingway famously said, "The first draft of anything is shit." What does that mean? Elizabeth Sims will discuss, demonstrate, and help you get from the shit to the gold, including:
- How trying to get it right the first time hinders you from writing your best.
- When to give yourself permission to make mistakes.
- How to throw your writing throttle wide open.
- Why messy drafts can lead to lively, crystal-clear writing.
- How plowing through poor ideas leads to original, great ones.
- How easy your second draft will be after you've written a free-flowing first.
