I have no idea what to write, I'm literally just trying this app out. I need to write as quickly as I can to avoid my fightr being defeated so I'm not really going to think about what I write, and instead just do it. It's probably going to end up looking like trash, but the guy from that YouTube channel I was watching yesterday said that's fine. I see at least one spelling mistake already, but I'm going to ignore it because of what he said. It's really helpful and honestly it's making things easier for me. I'll need practice if I'm going to write something half decent someday. Anyways, that guy was talking about an 80% thing which was unexpected but one of the most helpful things he mentioned. The problem most writers face (or rather, one of the problems) is that they expect too much of themselves. They try to be perfect, and avoid mistakes that their readers wouldn't notice regardless. So they edit and change their mistakes and become more and more conscious of how "bad" they are, and because of the extra time spent changing things to make them ever so slightly better, they never finish. Apparently it's quite feasbile (there's another mistake, not going to change it) to finish writing a book in 24 hours of work. Better still, this won't limit the quality of what's written. By reducing the amount of time wasted, the actual work decreases so much that it's possible to finish in a tiny fracton of the time that would otherwise be spent. This isn't to say that editting and proof-reading shouldn't be done; they are both definitely important. It's more about doing these things when the first job is done, and that's the initial bit of writing, nothing else. I realise now that to get my point across better I should have timed this to see the effect that a motivator like Fighter's Block has on a writer, to show how quickly this was done. Afterwards, of course, I will go through and change this if I put this is anything serious, but for now all that matters is that this is finished. Writers can't afford to procrastinate as much as so many of them do, because the result of this in so many cases is that their ideals fail to reach the world, because their ideals are not written. They start, they over-analyse their failures, they stop, and the world is worse for it. If writers can be motmivated to write faster and less carefully, they can get their ideas known to the world, get their creations out there. To give you an idea of how quick this can be, it's now been five minutes since I said I should have timed this. By my guess, that's about a third of the work ago. This will be 500 words, that's 166 words. How long should it take to write a novel 12 times 166 words an hour? Damn.

"No thinking - that comes later. You must write your first draft with your heart. You rewrite with your head. The first key to writing is... to write, not to think!"

Worst Draft is a minimalist word processor that removes the two biggest roadblocks for writers: editing & distractions. Users will be unable to delete anything more than a few most recently typed words, and they will also be unable to access any other applications without first closing Worst Draft.

By removing these elements the writer is forced to lean on his/her creative impulses to complete a first draft, postponing edits and research until future drafts.
