The first draft
After working from scratch with a new story over the past couple of days, I see the truth in this statement. I've been writing a short story for a specific theme. Beginning with a vague idea of what I wanted to write, adding in a little twist for the ending, and the first copy was ready in little over an hour. But it certainly wasn't very good in terms of the story I wanted to tell.
It took a full day of re-writing, and two or three shorter edits before it was ready to send off.
