Adding to your draft

We go through, I think, six different drafts of each script. And then my shooting it is roughly, you know, fifteen percent of the total script. Then it's all post-production animation and polishing after that.

A ridiculous source, I know, but there is an important grain of truth here. When writing is done on a professional level, it gets done and redone again and again. It's important to be able to let some ideas go, develop new ones, and keep making progress toward your final paper.

Don't throw away your drafts, and don't feel bad about scrapping writing you have already done.

Time to get started on your essay!
