Fascinating, Sofia, because you are the opposite of me! Yes, you are an artist and I definitely am not. But, also, I am not a prolific draft creator. In fact, anything piece I start is typically finished in one sitting or it's trashed. In my Medium drafts, I have 4 maybes and they all relate to photography. They sit in limbo until I gather the photos I need to complete each. I don't really consider them drafts because I am always looking for the perfect shots to complete each.
Reading how other creatives work is always interesting but because you are both a writer and an artist, your piece is all the more intriguing for me.
