Fireside Chat: An Optimistic Approach to First Drafts

from Writing with Friends · host Hillary Barnes Martinez and BJ Williams

We’ll be gathering around our metaphorical fireplace for a fireside chat– an honest conversation about how we’re applying a craft topic or tool to our own writing practices, and how you might incorporate this topic or tool into your writing life as well. And the craft topic we’ll be discussing today is how to conquer the dreaded first draft.
