Don't get it right, get it WRITTEN

This post could also be called, "Don't get it right, get it finished." Because getting your project finished is as important as the starting of it. And by finished, I don't mean done. I mean that you have finished Draft 1. There may be 65 other drafts that follow it. Or 5 or 72 or even 102. In each of these drafts, you will be editing which is the other half of the puzzle of writing. As you tighten, agonizing over using this word or that, you will be taking steps - some teeny, tiny baby steps, but steps nonetheless - toward your completed project.

But without Draft 1, there is nothing finished. Nothing to edit.

So go on - don't get it right, get it written. You can do it!
