I know about “shitty first drafts.” I know “it doesn’t have to be good, just true.” How else to do anything daily? And some of my favorite pieces stemmed from my worst. Still I freeze. I don’t believe Anne, Rosemerry or my own experience. And maybe it’s not just writing. I try so hard to be good there’s no room left to get better.
If this resonates, I’d love to hear from you. A comment, a share, or even just a like goes a long way. Writing into the silence is its own practice, but knowing the work lands makes it easier to keep showing up.
