“No thinking - that comes later. You must write your first draft with your heart. You rewrite with your head. The first key to writing is... to write, not to think!”
“You write your first draft with your heart, and you rewrite with your head.”
“if you are satisfied with your first draft you are not writing, you are excreting”
“Writing is rewriting... If you fall in love with the vision you want of your work and not your words, the rewriting will become easier.”
“It is better to write a bad first draft than no first draft at all.”
“Write, write, write! Get your you-know-what in the chair and write more books: write the books of your heart and don’t let stress steal your joy.”
