The Writing Process Made E-Z

Writing, as writers like to write, is re-writing. Here’s a simplified breakdown of the typical steps in the process …

• Bullshit draft.
• Draft that stinks on ice.
• Draft that sucks donkey d**k.
• Draft that merely sucks.
• Draft that sucks slightly less.
• Draft that a late night talk show host could crack-up audience with.
• Lifeless, flat, numbingly boring, sleep-inducing draft.
• Draft that’s slightly less boring, but rotten with errors.
• Accurate draft that starts to read well.
• Accurate draft that sings.
• Draft you suddenly realize you’ve written before.
• Go back to square one …
• Bullshit draft.
• Repeat as often as necessary.
