Sometimes a draft arrives whole. In Permission To Start Again I recount finishing Episode 302 of Permanently Moved on the third try, a 3k draft trimmed to 2.5k, and Warren Ellis's idea about finding the shape the piece wants. Writing process tips, how to restart a writing project, zine printing and podcast edits.
Rolly's Take
This blog speaks to the soul of the restless creator, the one who finds beauty in the chaos of drafts and the courage to begin anew. It resonates with those who understand that creativity is often a winding path, filled with false starts and unexpected revelations. Here, the nuances of the writing process are explored with a gentle honesty, inviting a sense of permission to let go, redefine, and discover the unique shape that each project demands. For anyone who has ever felt the weight of their own expectations, this space offers a breath of fresh air and a reminder that starting again can be a profound act of liberation.
