Shitty First Drafts

Part of the reason I started this was so I could dump all my thoughts in one place in a place accessible from anywhere I am online (work, home, school, travel) and not worry about saying anything wrong/dumb/silly. But I find myself hesitant to post some days mostly because I am worried that what I'm saying is wrong/dumb/silly. The wrongest/dumbest/silliest thing is that no one is probably reading this.

In Bird by Bird, Anne Lamott writes about shitty first drafts. I need to learn to accept this here and in my non-online writing. I have a really difficult time just putting stuff out there, even though I always think I don't care what other people think. Well, um, I do.
