You never meant to share it.
The draft you abandoned.
The voice that didn’t quite work.
The story that still lingers.
Inside Beneath the Edits, writers are posting the pages they left behind—raw, real, and unfinished.
No polish. No pressure. Just space to be honest.

2/2 you can see how such a "first draft" or more so the rough lump of garbage/clay looks like

My "first drafts" are often bonkers and rough, I take a lot of inspirations from other stories I liked & create something that is just plainly Fan Fiction trash... Than I take this lump of "garbage" & reshape it. Maybe clay would be a better name as "garbage."😅
With time passing, the world takes shape, it's interesting to see, how it fits together, what gets deleted or moved over into other projects.
Sometimes I reuse stuff, which is kinda interesting to see how it evolves depending on the project. It's a bit like the road one has not taken or convergent evolution.
Sometimes I wonder how I moved from the idea to the end but most times all my changes are at least documented, if I don't loose all backups. I really should do another copy of them...😅

Johnny Castle: Look, spaghetti arms. This is my dance space. This is your dance space. I don’t go into yours, you don’t go into mine.
Carol, who has spaghetti arm implants: I have a name you know.
Dance like nobody’s watching. Write like nobody’s reading.

First Drafts: If you focus on good writing you imprison your imagination. If you embrace bad writing you free your imagination.

The real message of Columbo is a writer's one: first drafts always suck. The murderer can never go back over the cover story they create for themselves, so it's always full of little plot holes and discrepancies. And Columbo, the great critic-detective, is there to spot them all. #Columbo #FirstDrafts
@Boudica Absolutely!
A writing sprint is when you sit down and focus on getting as many words written as you can within a given span of time (usually 30 minutes or so).
I think it works best for #firstdrafts, when you just want to get the story on the page. It's not a very conducive method for editing or rewrites, since you're usually going for polishing your work.
But it's fun, and when hosted on the right platform, you can meet other writers and share techniques, tips, and excerpts.
"it was the best of times, it was really great."
