You need to start somewhere. Start by getting something -- anything -- down on paper" elrondegvaldez https://padlet.com/elrondegvaldez/zl1viurdq9j7gg2i/wish/2680899639 This line from the text gives importance to how most if not all good reading materials come from terrible starts. One of the things that matters the most in terms of creating good writing would be putting in the effort to make the "terrible first efforts" because it is from there that the writing becomes better bit by bit.]]> 2023-09-01 07:44:49 UTC https://padlet.com/elrondegvaldez/zl1viurdq9j7gg2i/wish/2680899639 "There may be something in the very last line of the very last paragraph on page six that you just love, that is so beautiful or wild that you now know what you're supposed to be writing about, more or less, or in what direction you might go -- but there was no way to get to this without first getting through the first five and a half pages" elrondegvaldez https://padlet.com/elrondegvaldez/zl1viurdq9j7gg2i/wish/2680911510 This line talks about how it is from our drafts, outlines, and ideas that we are able to better understand what we truly want to write about. To me, this line highlights the fact that "starting things out in a mess" is ok, and what matters is how we are able to connect our ideas into something beautiful, and this process takes lots of time and effort.]]> 2023-09-01 08:00:28 UTC https://padlet.com/elrondegvaldez/zl1viurdq9j7gg2i/wish/2680911510
