gingerglides asked:

Hey Neil, I’m working on my first novel, first draft, but I’m stuck with the irritating sensation that I haven’t set up enough things, so I keep editing and rewriting instead of forging ahead. First drafts are supposed to be fun, but I feel like I’ve lost perspective while chasing storylines around my brain. How do you rediscover your writing joy when you get stuck?

neil-gaiman answered:

You move forward. Fixing things, editing and rewriting, are second draft things to do.
