So if you're
podcast-host
Writing it and you realize, oh my gosh, this whole scene so far has just kind of been dialogue and setting detail.
podcast-host
I don't really know what's supposed to happen.
podcast-host
Either just finish it and leave yourself a note, or you don't even have to finish it.
podcast-host
You can just stop writing when you kind of get that ick feeling and leave yourself a note at that point.
podcast-host
So say something like, This scene is incomplete, need to figure out how this one works into the bigger plot, and then just move on, right?
podcast-host
Not everything has to be perfect.
podcast-host
Complete and perfectly written in your first draft.
podcast-host
And this does not mean that you're lowering your standards or that you're pretending problems don't exist.
podcast-host
You're simply deciding that a first draft is just not the moment when every scene, every sentence, every detail needs to reach its final form.
podcast-host
Alright, so that is tip number four.
podcast-host
Let imperfect progress count.
podcast-host
Let 150 rough words count.
podcast-host
And if your writing window closes halfway through
podcast-host
a scene, let that half scene count, right?
podcast-host
Let the paragraph you already know that you're going to rewrite, let that count.
podcast-host
Because those imperfect pages are still moving you closer to a finished draft.
podcast-host
And that's what's most important.
podcast-host
All right, now last up is tip number five.
podcast-host
And tip number five is to treat your writing time as legitimate.
