First draft with your heart, second with your head, thundered Sean Connery, playing a reclusive award-winning author mentoring a young black writer in the film Finding Forrester. Now that line is a script-writer’s dream. You just know it’s going to be a quotable quote as soon as it’s on paper.
And if you’re trying to Find the Forrester within, like me, it sticks in your craw and nags you. Basically, I’m a lazy writer. I only do one draft. Whether it’s 99 words or 1,000, the first time it is out, it's done. No head. All heart. No good.
