Such an interesting perspective. I suppose I always assumed that when the time arrives to edit/start draft 2, I’d give up my plantsing ways and be very methodical and plotting. Maybe not!
Great insights. I needed to read this today. The water might be cold or warm, but I hadn't really contemplated fast or slow pools. Turbulent maybe, but the speed of water is real, and the variations on the acts of writing and revising are real too. Thank you for sharing.
Love this -- and I agree that the project often tells us...
Thank you. It really feels different with each project!

Can’t wait to hear about your book 2!
I think it just depends on what the draft needs. It keeps changing for me!
As a former competitive swim champ and a plantser, thank you for this perspective.
A swimmer and a writer! 🙌
Love this. You're so right about it being so much associated with first drafts and so much of the process is not spent in first drafts!
It felt good to say it out loud!

Also, congrats to your son!
Glad it resonates. It’s been on my mind all summer!
