With documents, or the final versions of a piece of writing, there is an expectation of completeness, of having cleaned everything up. But in the draft, the embarrassingly cliche, the half-baked, the naive, all of this is allowed to exist. A useful draft is curious, it doesn’t insist on being certain or even good. What it asks of you is honesty. In
