“A rough draft”

Redraft

A version that makes me smile.

Brainstorm

Ways to keep going.

Edit

Not everything needs a retelling.

Polish

To make the story worth sharing

Illustrate

The moments that need a little nudge

Concede

The darkness that remains unspoken

Arrange

The chaos of mind, heart, and brain

Read

What you rewrote the 100th time

Still unready to be shared.
