So let's think about this a little and take it a bit further….
(Write that bit down on a Post-It Note and place it somewhere you’ll be sure to see it during your writing sessions!) The first completed draft of your book just has to contain the main ideas. “a piece of text, a formal suggestion, or a drawing in its original state, often containing the main ideas and intentions but not the developed form.”Īha! Here we have absolute clarity that our “rough” draft must contain a piece of text in its original state, and that it will contain the main ideas and intentions, but NOT the developed form. Here’s a definition for you here from the Cambridge English Dictionary online: We often throw words around without being clear, so I think it's useful to look at definitions - and draft is definitely one of the words that gets tossed around a lot in the writing community without real clarity about what it involves. And I share a set of First Book Finish Rules of the Draft that all my #Finishers follow as we do our work over our 12 weeks together. We look at the five essential elements of a first draft so that you can answer that question in your head: okay, but how rough IS “rough,” exactly.
In this lesson we explore exactly how rough or complete a draft needs to be.
