Drafts are Like Debts

Easy to start and hard to complete. A haiku

"Incomplete drafts are like debts,

easy to accumulate, hard to pay,

many waiting for the light of the day."

I write a lot. On Medium alone, I have close to 300 published articles and about 6,000 incomplete drafts. I don’t think I’ll be able to complete them all in this lifetime.

Even on Vocal Media, where I am barely 3 month old, I have hundreds of drafts waiting to be finished.

It’s tough to complete one, when the next idea is already calling. Also, we are not feeling the same emotion, we started them with.

So today, drafts felt like unsurmountable debts.
