Give me a ✍️ if you like drafting or a ✏️ if you like editing!

While at the retreat this weekend, we had many a discussion about which stage of writing we like best. For me, drafting is an abysmal vortex of soul-splintering, time-wasting nonsense; but I’m able to power through it to get to lush, exciting editing, where messes become pretty and all that time-wasting in drafting redeems itself.
