One of the biggest mistakes new writers make is believing their first draft should sound like a finished novel.
It won’t.
The first draft is where you discover the story.
The second draft is where you strengthen it.
The third draft is where you refine it.
Every published book started as a messy document full of notes, awkward dialogue, plot holes, and scenes that didn’t work.
If you’re still writing your first draft, don’t stop because it isn’t perfect.
Finish the story first.
Future you can edit it.
