Draft now, edit later
The first draft is for getting it out. Say it.
Most of the friction in writing is the gap between the sentence in your head and the one on the screen. Speaking closes it. Keep the inner editor for the second pass.
While you dictate
- Punctuation and capitals handled for you
- Say “new paragraph” to break the page
- Your words, not rewritten ones
- Works in Scrivener, Word, Docs and Notion
