Drafting Philosophy
The Academic Writing Paradox
| Challenge | Reality | Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| "I need to read more first" | Reading is procrastination | Write to discover what you don't know |
| "I need the perfect first sentence" | First drafts are meant to be bad | Start with the section you know best |
| "I'll write when I have time" | Time expands to fill available space | Write in focused sprints |
| "It needs to be original" | Synthesis is originality | Combine existing ideas in new ways |
