The 10 Rules of Rough Drafts http://ift.tt/1RAfyFl @copyblogger #blogging #AutoTweet

Rough Draft host Demian Farnworth is about to destroy the lie that suggests your first draft must be perfect. The illusion that great copy is born in a single moment of white hot inspiration.

One of the most famous white-hot inspiration ambush stories in American literary history involves Jack Kerouac, Beat Generation pioneer.

As the legend has it, Kerouac wrote On the Road, a 293-page novel, in three coffee-fueled weeks on one long, flowing scroll.

Now, that is true. He did do that. But it’s not the full truth.

In this 6-minute episode of Rough Draft with Demian Farnworth, you’ll discover:

• The truth behind Jack Kerouac’s legendary writing frenzy (and how you can capitalize on it)
• A trick to keep the ideas flowing when you are scared
• The crazy low expectation you can have with your first draft
• What you must be doing for inspiration to actually work
• A quote from Kurt Vonnegut to help you not feel you are the only one who struggles with getting your ideas out
