"especially when THIS first draft isn't our FIRST first draft." Yep, you hit the nail on the head with that one. It's so tough to keep writing while knowing there are things to fix. When in dire straits, I'll even leave comments to myself like "I know I need to fix this on re-writes, sorry future me!" And then I keep going.
Oh my gosh your thoughts on draft 1 literally just saved me from my mental spiral where I was about to toss this draft in the dumpster and start over 😅 (20k into draft one of a new project)

Aw, I'm so glad!! And congrats on getting to 20k!!!!
Thank you!!! Probably going to completely re-write it next draft but that's ok?
Absolutely!! My second draft is always a rewrite :) Sounds scary, is SOOOO worth it!
