"the first draft of anything is shit"
Hemingway
Welcome, fellow writers!
Hemingway said it, so it's true. The first draft is always shit.
So how do you navigate all the tips and advice for new writers to get to that stage where your writing isn't shit?
I've been to the writers' festivals, attended the seminars, joined the writers' groups and read the journals, consumed the very best advice, digested it carefully, and then pushed it out onto the "SO, YOU WANT TO BE A WRITER..." page. There, your every question will be answered and presented to you, fresh and steaming, on a platter.
