Well....I'm certainly not one of them. smile

Me...It would never occur to me to think that a first draft would be a keeper.

During first drafts, I will write out the initial ill conceived phrases (knowing I'll cull it later) just to make sure I don't lose sight or forget the idea of what I was trying to convey.
Then, I'll refine from there.....coming from 2 or 3 first draft re-writes with lines, cross-outs and notes everywhere at all angles on the pages.
Only I could read my chicken scratching....but, not always. smile

If I stick with the lyrical aspect of a new song it may takes me a few weeks to get lyrics/phrasing to my liking.

Carry on....
