Your First Draft Doesn’t Need to Be Perfect - It Just Needs to Exist: Content Creation And Writing Skills.

So many beginners struggle to write because they want their first draft to be flawless.
But content creation becomes much easier when you give yourself permission to write freely.

Write fast first.
Edit later.

Your first draft is not the final message.It’s just the clay you will shape.
Every great post starts as something imperfect.

Progress beats perfection every time.

Cover of book 'progress not perfection' by harper manson.

Keep building, keep learning, and keep believing in youself. Your website is your story unfolding online.

Keep putting more work and effort to it and you will get better in time.

he psychological barrier of the "flawless first draft" is a genuine creativity killer. It forces you to operate in two modes at once: the Creator (fast, messy, intuitive) and the Critic (slow, analytical, judgmental).

Thanks Monse for sharing the insight.
I appreciate the value you add to the discussion.

you're welcome

Thanks for this helpful message Paul. I’m trying my best to be less of a perfectionist and more of a doer.

That is the way to go Steve. Nothing is this world is perfect. Write yourself out with less of perfectionism.
I sometime struggle with perfectionism when creating content.

Paul.
