First Draft

That first draft is where every writer’s story begins.

At times you can’t help but wonder about story origins

While many authors write and practice their craft.

You know their first effort will only be a first draft.

That first draft with character flaws sets the stage

To get the reader to turn the page and totally engage

Rewrite and edit and your story really takes shape

Now your reader wonders if the hero can escape

Creative ideas flow, do I really want another plot twist.

Try love and romance now that he and she have kissed

Doesn’t every first draft need some editing and repair

That first draft becomes a story that you are ready to share
