It’s all been written before, thought before, said before. So just write.

Why write? Because you haven’t done it before.

Yes, the first draft will suck. No human knew how to walk at birth. How to do much of anything. To write is no different.

I worry my prose isn’t good enough. That I have to be perfect on the first try. But so does everyone who does creative stuff. So just write.

It’s 855pm, and I’m coming up with this post in real time. Throwing caution to the wind. Grinding each word out as it comes to mind.

That’s what any marathon is… One step at a time. So just write.

Why write? Because I enjoy it. Because I haven’t happened to write these combination of words before.

I dream of being a master story teller one day. So just write.

The right time is right now.

It’s not perfect, and that’s okay.

So just write.

If you don’t like it, edit it. Rewrite.

So just write.
