The aim of the first draft is to finish the first draft.

Nothing else matters if you don't finish the first draft. You won't entertain, move, inspire, or change the life of anyone if you don't finish the first draft because if you don't finish the first draft you can't go on to finish the subsequent drafts and produce a polished, complete story that will be read by someone.
