First Draft

A first draft is the initial version of a written work where the main ideas and structure are put together. It’s a starting point that captures your thoughts without worrying too much about perfect grammar, spelling, or style. The goal is to get your ideas down on paper so you can review and improve them later. Think of it as laying the foundation before building a polished final product. Everyone’s writers start with a first draft—it's a natural step in the creative process toward a well-crafted piece.
