How To Read Your Rough Draft

from The Infinite Creator Podcast Hosted by Beth Lapides

You finished a rough draft. Yay! Now what? Before you start fixing, rewriting or asking someone else to read it, there’s an important step: learning how to read it yourself. This week, I’m talking about how to read a rough draft — what to look for, what not to get distracted by, the three pens I use, how to follow the thread, and why compassion is as important as rigor at this stage of the creative process. The goal isn’t to decide whether you like it. It’s to see what you’ve made clearly enough to find your way to the next draft.Infinitely Yours, Beth Get full access to The Infinite Creator at bethlapides.substack.com/subscribe
