Welcome to another #WriterWarnings! It’s time someone told you that perfectionism will hold you back 🙃
As you write, don’t try to make your book absolutely perfect. First drafts are meant to be messy, and you cannot revise and revise and revise without a completed manuscript to allow you the big-picture view of your book.
Rewrites and revisions are necessary, but a completed manuscript is necessary to help you understand where and what needs fixing.
For example, if you spend your time revising/rewriting your first chapter, you will never get around to writing the second chapter. Or the third.
Wanting perfection from yourself and your manuscript will get you nowhere. Doing such a thing is like trying to run somewhere but on a treadmill. Accept the messy and move forward.
Whenever you feel an itch to perfect, remind yourself that you can better fix your mistakes once the book is written 🖌📖☕
Roman sucks air in through his teeth and plays with his fork. "He kinda is, man. I mean, the card you used to buy us lunch literally has his fucking name on it."
"There's no shame in being a sugar baby," Connor insists, trying to deescalate a fight that isn't occurring. "Willa actually used to-"
Shiv rolls her eyes. "We know about Willa. We're not mad that you're gay, Ken. We're just a little mad you went to Stewy for money instead of just-"
"It's not like that," Kendall argues. "I didn't 'go to him for money.' And I'm also not gay, so what the fuck are you talking about?"
