Welcome to Relax Draft!
The writing blog for the anxious writer. Writing can often be an overwhelming hobby, with so many ideas to put down, grammar rules to remember, audiences to impress, and people to compare yourself to. It’s exhausting for even the experienced writer, but for the inexperienced writer working on their first book, it can be terrifying.
Here at Relax Draft we try to remind ourselves that no one is perfect one hundred percent of the time. Even the best books had a few messy drafts, and your book will be no different.
While there’s always something to improve on in this crazy world of writing, it’s important to keep writing.
And remember to relax, it’s just a draft.
