White Flowers And Fewer Drafts

January 27, 2010 by Marilyn Horowitz

As busy as my day gets I always make time to go out for a walk. Writers have a tendency to wall themselves in but I guarantee your writing will be much more interesting if you find the time to go out and experience the real world.

My walk took me through Central Park today where I snapped this shot of white flowers doing their best to burst through the wintery brush. I consider this a perfect approach to my writing system. Most writers struggle because they get frustrated when they just can’t come up with the quality white flowers of their stories. It’s much easier if you just put everything down on the page, branches, dead leaves and all, and then go back in and pick out the white flowers in later drafts.

This will help you write your first draft much faster and help you finish in fewer drafts.

Don’t Get It Right – Get It Written!
