Picture a crumpled up sheet of paper. Everyday that you put forth a concerted effort to write, you make an ever so slight flattening of one of the creases in that crumpled up sheet of paper. The more work you put in, the more it opens up.

Draft one. It’s half way open.

Draft two. It’s completely flattened out.

Final draft. You iron it out, to pristine condition.

Both the quality and quantity of what you’re left with, correlate to the amount of work you put in. From a quote used in a meme to a thousand page novel. Flatten out all of the crumpled up pieces of paper in the wastebasket of your mind.
