I've had to give myself permission to write crap this week. I know people say this is necessary to get rid of the evil internal editor. And you can't fix a blank page...
But, what I've written this morning is seriously bad.
And I'm convinced that my crap is crappier than everyone else's crap.
So how crappy is your first draft?

I'm stuck in this first draft sucks hell right now. I keep telling myself it gets better. I hope I'm right.
My advice: don't reread what you've written.
My first draft is craptacular.
Cat, I managed to write myself into a decent scene. Problem is it took me several pages to find it.
Craptacular - great word Kelly. LOL
First draft is always craptastic! A whole lot of crap and a little, if you look for it, fantastic. Unfortunately, most times, all I see is crap!
BTW - I like 'craptacular', Kelly!
Craptacular, craptasitc - love these words...my current one is both. Envision that scene from Jurassic Park where they come across that great big pile of triceratops poo. That's where I feel I am right now. But I'll fix it. You let crap sit long enough it you can grow flowers with it:)
