“Almost all good writing begins with terrible first efforts. You need to start somewhere. Start by getting something-anything-down on paper. A friend of mine says that the first draft is the down draft-you just get it down. The second draft is the up draft-you fix it up. You try to say what you have to say more accurately. And the third draft is the dental draft, where you check every tooth, to see if it's loose or cramped or decayed, or even, God help us, healthy.” IfsNeedsWritingTryingFirstsHelpingEffortMinesTerribleHealthyPaperThirdsChecksTeethGood WritingGod HelpDentalGod Help Us Author:Anne Lamott

“People are terrified of other people or difficult projects because they tell themselves that they could fail or be rejected. Failure can lead to sorrow, regret, frustration and annoyance - all healthy, negative feelings without which people couldn't exist. But then they add, "I absolutely must succeed and must be loved by significant persons, and if I don't, it's terrible and I'm no good." Those are irrational beliefs. As long as people keep them, they'll be terrified of life and will put themselves down when they get rejected.” PeopleIfsPersonsLongFeelingsBeliefDifficultFailingRegretTerribleSorrowHealthySucceedProjectsNegativeAddSignificantFrustrationRejectedIrrationalTerrifiedAnnoyanceNegative FeelingsIrrational Beliefs Author:Albert Ellis
