Haggai 2:16 "Since
those days were, when one came to an heap of twenty measures, there were but
ten: when one came to the pressfat for to draw out fifty vessels out of the
press, there were but twenty."
As we write our first
draft, we can’t help but see how awful it is. It’s tempting to stop and correct
as we go, but that doesn’t work for every writer.
Some never get past the
first few sentences, paragraphs or pages because of all the imperfections
constantly found. Some get so discouraged they give up completely, especially
for a book-length project.
But it’s important to get
that first draft onto the page, even if it means we write badly. Writing can be
fixed, no matter how bad it is, but a blank page will never be good enough to
be published.
