Every writer is going to have their own approach (or set of approaches) to the question of what constitutes a draft. These approaches might change with every phase of every project; the way that you wander through your first draft could be quite different from the way that you wander through your final. The hope, of course, is that your conception of drafting, whatever it is, can serve as a perch—a perception-changing post, slightly above the page, from which you’re better able to see your work and your process in a useful way. My personal approach is to avoid the question of drafthood for as long as I can. -Joseph Scapatello, What if all writing is just drafts forever? https://lithub.com/what-if-all-writing-is-just-drafts-forever/  

I add to my stories by section. Each story is nearly always divided into sections and worked on separately in this way. When I’ve finished one part I hit the Cap Lock and type MORE HERE and then move to another section. ... I stop when it feels natural. I don’t push it, and I accept incompletion if that’s what’s called for at that moment. A lot of writing is acceptance and patience. -from “ Repose In a Tattered Recliner Adorned with Knitted Sweater Vest and Jogging Pants ”
