Trust me, Ken’s first drafts can be pretty bad, from a reading standpoint. However, from a process standpoint, it’s interesting to compare his first draft with subsequent drafts and the final edition. You can see how the main storyline remains intact while the supporting lines evolve over the drafting process and how they nudge the main storyline to be tighter, more focused.
If you are interested in observing a good writer’s process, taking Ken up on this could be worth your time.
