Oh, such a nice woman, Ann Lamott

"Shitty First Drafts. All good writers write them. That is how they end up with good second drafts and terrific third drafts.

I know some very great writers, writers who you love who write beautifully and have made a great deal of money, and not one of them sits down routinely feeling wildly enthusiastic and confident. Not one of them writes elegant first drafts. All right, one of them does, but we do not like her very much."
