I prefer revision to creating the first draft. But I can't revise a story I haven't created. I'm struggling with spitting out another draft of the Robbers' Rhyme story. It's almost like creating another first draft because I created a new outline and changed the plot. When creating the first draft I need a word goal each day so I don't second guess everything I write. Then when I revise I can look at it more constructively. Is revising also creating? Definitely. It's easier for me to mold something that already exists. Here's a quote I really like about creating.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf, a current Christian leader said, “The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds, or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before. Everyone can create. You don’t need money, position, or influence in order to create something of substance or beauty. Creation brings deep satisfaction and fulfillment. We develop ourselves and others when we take unorganized matter into our hands and mold it into something of beauty…” (Ensign, Nov 2008, 117–20). "Create" Comments are closed.
