NOTE

**Dirty Draft, Incubate, & Edit. **

The drafting process is critical and should embrace imperfection, as it is natural to sound foolish during this stage. Quickly creating a rough draft allows for uninhibited expression and idea generation. Following this, an incubation period—whether engaged in activities like walking, showering, or cooking—fosters passive thinking, leading to significant mental breakthroughs. This delay enhances the clarity of subsequent editing. Editing is where the real value and improvement happen; great writing emerges from meticulous refinement. Rather than trying to draft and edit simultaneously, one should prioritize drafting quickly and returning to the work with fresh eyes after a break. This method reduces fatigue and self-doubt associated with overthinking the drafting phase and ultimately promotes a more productive and effective writing process.
