Draft
A draft is any version of a piece of writing that isn't the final one. In practice, most writing bottlenecks live in the first draft — and voice is the fastest way to produce one.

In plain language
It's not the final version. It's a starting point you can improve.
Why it matters
The blank page is the single most common writing bottleneck. A rough draft — however messy — breaks that block. Voice-first drafting is one of the fastest ways to produce that first version.
