We are afraid "It isn't good enough.", so we don't write it down. The process of writing is not super sexy. It's the granny panties of the creative process. The cold, hard truth is you just have to write every day faithfully and edit later. I write for days or even a month before I edit the first time. That way I don't kill a good idea before it even gets off the ground.(less)

Let's not go there.

I want to talk about something uplifting for a change. Let's all take a step out of this Mad Max/Lord of the Flies hellscape for a few and talk about something that doesn't necessitate blood pressure meds or Prince Valium.
