Your personal Tumblr journey starts here
Oh but my ADHD does care. If I don’t get it right on the first round I will never get back to it. In fact if I don‘t finish the whole chapter/one shot in one sitting it will never be finished. If I abandon it once my lack of executive function will not allow my to rework/ continue it without immense agony, so it will wither in my drafts forever. So I in fact do have to sit there for 6h+ to finish that work in one sitting for me to ever be able to show it to the world.
stop trying to make your draft perfect on the first try. your characters don’t care. your plot doesn’t care. even the imaginary readers in your head don’t care because they don’t exist yet. just write the terrible version. write the cringey dialogue and the scenes that go nowhere and the metaphors so bad they make you cringe into next week. because guess what? you can’t edit a blank page, but you can edit a hot mess. embrace it.
