#WritersCoffeeClub 2/12 What percentage of your first draft ends up in the trash?
I'm gonna say 14-25%
I have no idea if this is accurate lol I don't actually trash a lot of my first draft. I change things and add depth. Character stuff is more likely to be rewritten as I develop them, so a decent amount of first draft character stuff gets tossed.
And then those accidental purple prose that I spew out when I think I'm being clever.
I'm not. It's embarrassing, really 😝
