#AmNoveling
First draft,
Second draft,
Odd man out.
Print everything,
Anything.
Run the motor hot.
With reckless abandon,
Let papers fly.
Until in the quiet of late-afternoon,
Clips unbound,
Every word and weakness
Under scissors and pen,
Attack.
You hit the nail on the head there, Ms. Christi. Sometimes writing feels like battle. Attack!
Exhilarating and defeating all in the same moment at times! But we press on. 👊
