Working on that first draft.

When I’m working on a story I get a lot of ideas for it when I first start to fall asleep. Which means often I’m popping up every five minutes and typing the ideas into my phone so I don’t lose them. If I don’t immediately write them down I’ll forget them. Last night I had an idea for a really cool twist in the story. The best part of writing is when you are working on the first draft and writing the story just to entertain yourself. That’s my favorite part of writing. Later you have to edit and worry if the story is working. Worry if the readers will like it. But during the first draft you put that all out of your head and just write for fun.
