“There is no such thing as a good novel that gets written in a month. (…) I’m increasingly convinced that while no great book can be written in a month, no great book can be written in a first draft, no matter how long it takes you to write it. Books are made in revision. For all three of my novels, I have deleted more than 90% of the first draft. And everything that people like about my books emerges in later drafts.” - John Green
…John Green is a spaz and I kind of love him for being a giant spaz nerd writer with really good advice.

I wholeheartedly agree. Which is why I believe it’s important to get through the first draft as quickly as possible...
