So refreshing to know the it doesn´t get better when you are a professional writer. It still is the same struggle. :D

I'm currently writing a first draft and I keep watching this over and over again, I adore these people

[@snowysannah123]

It's crazy how as a developing writer I can relate to all these problems with drafting myself. I feel their struggle on a certain level.

Hi I'm trying to create a software for writing from the first draft to the final one with ease and the software will help you put all your ideas organized without effort so that you can be more creative, and it will help a lot who do all the work himself like writing shooting and editing because you can do all that work in the same time and place, help you not just in pre-production but also in the production and post-production... but I don't know if there is a big market for this type of software or not... what you think? Thank you for the video ;)

[@rhett-says-hullo4229]

ppl say to abandon grammar and anything to do with editing in your first drafts. but how do u write a scene, an entire novel when you're ignoring grammar?? i know you'll rewrite it but??? i dont get it am i missing something

[@interestedparty7523]

The point is, don’ fuss over something that matters less than structure, motivation and dramatic beats. Only after these things are adequate, do you mess with grammar and sentence structure.

This is great.
