Almost all good writing begins with terrible first efforts. You need to startsomewhere. Start by getting something -- anything -- down on paper. A friend ofmine says that the first draft is the down draft -- you just get it down. The seconddraft is the up draft -- you fix it up. You try to say what you have to say moreaccurately. And the third draft is the dental draft, where you check every tooth, tosee if it's loose or cramped or decayed, or even, God help
No matter your level of experience, according to Lamott, when you start something new, you may feel as though you are yanking teeth.
