I know I already posted a huge advisory update, but I found a great bit of knowledge that not only grabbed me but describes my insecurities when writing to a perfect T.

Your best writing will happen in the revision process.

 I kid you not, I struggle and worry and mope and complain about my words so much and I'm only on my first draft. Haven't even finished it. I've been telling myself similar advice -- the second draft is for change, first is for spillage -- but seeing a professional agent bolding and underlining this is very comforting.

I shall keep this in my pocket forever.
