“Writing a first draft is like groping one’s way into a dark room, or overhearing a faint conversation, or telling a joke whose punchline you’ve forgotten. As someone said, one writes mainly to rewrite, for rewriting and revising are how one’s mind comes to inhabit the material fully.” ~ Ted Solotaroff

I enjoyed the quote above for that is how I really feel when working on a first draft of any story. I sometimes feel that the whole thing is simply a mirage that will disappear altogether before I can get to the last page.
