Yes, sing the title to the melody of "The First Cut is the Deepest". It was designed to sung so.
Writing my first draft of Shakespeare on Film essay - and clearly getting distracted. I know I should be sustaining my flow of thought, but this quote just crept into my mind.
"The first draft of anything is ****." - Ernest Hemingway.
I'm taking refuge in that thought! There's always a need to re-write what I've just written, to make it sound more intellectual or clearer or whatever, but when I do so I lose my train of thought and everything just sounds very choppy in the end. I think I need to just pen everything down first, get all my ideas out and then slowly, lovingly edit everything so it would be more coherently and beautifully phrased. You just (editorial you btw) can't write the first draft expecting everything to be perfect.
