There’s no such thing as perfect writing.

At some point you gotta ship it and be satisfied that you did the best you could.

Just like life.

Here’s a quote by Anne Lamott. If you don’t know who she is, go Google her.

‘Perfectionism is the voice of the oppressor, the enemy of the people. It will keep you cramped and insane your whole life, and it is the main obstacle between you and a shitty first draft. I think perfectionism is based on the obsessive belief that if you run carefully enough, hitting each stepping-stone just right, you won’t have to die. The truth is that you will die anyway and that a lot of people who aren’t even looking at their feet are going to do a whole lot better than you, and have a lot more fun while they’re doing it.’

So is your writing perfect?

Or is it just like your life?

I’m dying to hear your words.
