Covering the Canvas and Going Around Obstacles in First Drafts

In first drafts, the focus should be on covering the canvas by getting something on every part, even if it's not perfect. It's like splattering paint like Jackson Pollack. When facing obstacles, the approach should be similar to Israel Tal's strategy during the Six-Day War - keep advancing and go around the obstacles, even if it means losing some along the way. The idea is to avoid getting stuck in a war of attrition and prioritize continuous movement forward in writing.
