Welcome to First Draft Thoughts! This is not your average writing blog. This is a space where terrible writing is encouraged. Wait, what? You read that correctly. There’s plenty of room for mistakes here.

“Almost all good writing begins with terrible first efforts. You need to start somewhere.” – Anne Lamott

First Draft Thoughts is all about putting pen to paper no matter what, even if the ink is leaking all over the place. Because good content starts somewhere. Are you an aspiring writer suffering from perfectionist syndrome that causes you to judge every word you write, hell, every thought that flashes in your mind? Cool, me too! Oh, hi! I’m Carley. Come along with me as I embrace my First Draft Thoughts (nice little title drop, right?)! If you’re itching to read honest posts about effective communication, storytelling, and the little joys of writing, you’re in the right place.
