How do you motivate yourself to finish the first draft - especially when you know it’s not very good.
I’ve been writing poems and short stories for as long as I can remember, even having some published! I’ve started writing the first draft for my novel but I’m really struggling to get through it.
I’ve barely scratched the surface of the plot, and already there are plot holes and character issues. Realistically I know I need to just get everything down and then do a rewrite with a bit more structure, but I’m struggling to get to that point.
How do you cope/motivate yourself?
