I worked diligently on the draft and invited @vitaincerta to co-author- she is smart as a whip and a terrific writer and I knew she would really help to shape a well-written piece. She agreed and I sent her my #ShittyFirstDraft.

We set up a call and hashed out the changes, incorporating both potential interpretations. We realized we pretty much agreed on things, but our prior assumptions and perspectives were a bit different. We tapped out a new draft, completely different than the #ShittyFirstDraft.

As an aside, I always refer to a first pass as a #ShittyFirstDraft, directly inspired by a chapter in the book “Bird by Bird” by @ANNELAMOTT . I can’t recommend that book highly enough. Entertaining and insightful. And funny. http://bit.ly/2WkTllG

Sorta stuck between wanting to throttle my first draft because it’s not perfect and I know I’ll have to go back through and rewrite it and acknowledging it must be bad before it can be good. #Writing #Funny #Humor #Author #ShittyFirstDraft #Writer #Book #WorkInProgress #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

Pushing from now to New Years to finish this draft... Let's go 😎

63k words and counting on book 2.

I just gleefully thought to myself, “That paper is DONE except for the citations and editing!” And then I remembered how long citations and editing take… #shittyfirstdraft #birdbybird

So I’m considering that thread what @annelamott would call a #ShittyFirstDraft. The following draft incorporates feedback from the @Twitter #meded community into something I hope is a bit more useful (and a lot more friendly).

I write this #shittyfirstdraft in my notes app and posted it. We cannot remain silent and complacent. Resist.
