Beginnings. With writing as with most things, it doesn't so much matter where you begin, as that you do. In my experience writing is about 80% editing; however, you must have something to edit!
"Leave it lay for just one day and, oh brother, gonna come back and find it gone."--from Queen of Hearts, by Gregg Allman
Very true. I have the issue of writing it but dropping the ball when I edit. I am getting better at it but each time I cut a word it feels like I am cutting one of my babies. It is a work of progress.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I can't write for editing.
DeleteYep! You have to begin in order to finish. Let's go.
ReplyDeleteYes, let's!
DeleteI agree. Getting started is the hardest part of writing, but it's the most important, or you'll have nothing to improve on.

DeleteThis is so so true. I'm often telling people to just write. Worry about the content afterward.

Muse, your writing makes every day seem like Sunday!
ReplyDeleteI'm telling you not to stop, Chief! :)
DeleteI didn't then and I won't now!
DeleteUnfortunately what you're saying is true, and I'm feeling the pain of it lately. It's been a hard lesson to learn but a very necessary one.
ReplyDeleteJust keep on writing...

So true! As Tolkien said, "It's the job that's never started that takes the longest to finish."
ReplyDeleteLove the beginning of good things. Blessings
