Scrap It. Start Again.

Lots of what I write isn’t worth posting. Verbose. Meandering. Nonsense. I’ve written three different posts tonight and scrapped each one. But I still did what I set out to do. I wrote today.

So much of what I’m working towards with this project is to clarify my own thinking. So even if I don’t post everything I’m still getting something out of it by trying.

They’re not junk. There’s good stuff in those posts. But it just doesn’t feel right. It’s too much or too little or not clear enough. And that’s ok.

I’ve got dozens of posts like that. With good ideas to come back to. I get as much out of the ones I don’t post as the ones I do.

Keep scrapping until you’ve got one you like. But don’t ever stop trying.
