Writing to ‘get it right the first time’ is like driving a car with the emergency brake on. In order to write more good stuff faster, and suffer less, you need to focus on removing the stalling, obsessing, and nitpicking from your composing process, and to think about a different kind of process.

I’m not a writer, but I do write. The more I write, the more I realize this advice is excellent. And hard to do.
