calls the "draft and revise" method. Most writers imagine a piece they want to write, draft it, then polish and revise it without straying far from the first vision. Eschewing this routine, Biespiel cautions: Avoid the first draft for as long as possible. It commits you to an immature vision of the piece. He writes about longing for "a method that allowed me to blur and get lost in a contained sort of writing reverie." Losing control, even failing, is a neglected, unappreciated, but necessary part of the creative process.
