I have a package of buttons for workshops.  The buttons say, “First drafts don’t have to be perfect, they just have to be written.”  There is a blush of first love when writing a first draft.  Every day is an adventure.  When it’s done, and it’s time for the re-write, that’s like marriage.  Work! 🙂  Eventually, with time and effort, something wonderful can emerge, but the romance is only the beginning.  The really great part comes from being committed to the effort of learning and growing, exploring and pulling out fascinating truths, but it’s pretty wonderful.
