Writing & Editing<p>Remember, all of our favorite authors started out writing just like us. A first draft is for getting the shape of a story along with its imperfections. So you can find and bring out the best story, the real story, in later drafts. - Wrtr <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/amwriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>amwriting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Writing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>author</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writer</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/authorsky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>authorsky</span></a></p>
