Scribbling

Nothing you write is by accident.

Nothing.

I don't know about you, but this is incredibly inspiring to me.

To know that my writing is not an accident.

The first draft simply gets me closer to the final draft.

I wonder which draft would be considered the most innovative.

If I were to guess, I would say the first draft is probably the most innovative. It is where you begin to develop the idea and put it down on paper.

The subsequent drafts are hard work, yet often they are the refinement of the way in which the content is delivered.

My encouragement is to go write, knowing it is on purpose.
