As I mentioned before, I put off doing this project because I wanted to get it perfect. This approach got me nowhere. I put off the project for a long time. I came up with lots of reasons why I couldn’t do it.
I finally I decided I would just start and if what I wrote sucked, I would edit till it didn’t. I would be the one who decided what was shippable and what wasn’t, I wouldn’t let fear do that for me. I would get it out, warts and all. I gave myself permission to start badly.
Almost all good writing begins with terrible first efforts. You need to start somewhere. Start by getting something—anything—down on paper. What I’ve learned to do when I sit down to work on a sh#tty first draft is to quiet the voices in my head. – Anne Lamott
Production over perfection. Write it down. Paint it. Built it. Whatever it is you are supposed to do. Do it. Start as badly as it takes, but start. You can edit or improve it later. If you don’t, you may never get it out and that is the world’s loss.
There will be lot’s of edits to this site and to it’s content but that’s OK. If you start badly, there is nowhere to go but up.
