The challenge of writing
Is to see your horribleness on page.
To see your terribleness
And then go to bed
And wake up the next day
And take that horribleness and that terribleness,
And refine it,
And make it not so terrible and not so horrible
And then go to bed again
And come the next day,
And refine it a little bit more,
And make it not so bad.
And then go to bed the next day.
And then do it again,
And make it maybe average.
And then one more time,
If you’re lucky
Maybe you get to good.
And if you’ve done that,
That’s a success.
– Ta-Nehisi Coates
(narrated by Angela Duckworth)
I can totally relate to this one!
Just me?
