Iterate and Rewrite for Success

The key to success lies in continuous iteration and rewriting. The danger is losing momentum and falling off the wagon. Focus on putting in the time consistently rather than worrying about creating a perfect draft. Editing can always refine the initial work, making rewriting essential for progress. By accepting that all writing is essentially rewriting, the focus shifts to sustaining the momentum of work and not getting bogged down by perfectionism. Embracing the concept of 'a couple of crappy pages a day' or repeatedly rewriting 'bad versions' until they become good can lead to significant improvements. Prioritize maintaining the flow of ideas and concepts, deferring fact-checking if it disrupts the writing process, as details can be corrected later. Ultimately, the essence of the message and the momentum in writing are more crucial than achieving perfection in the initial stages of drafting.
