Forward

Writing is hard. When I'm not writing publicly, I scratch my conscious thoughts into my notebooks. I personally struggle when I think my work will be on display. Even now as I write this - I've cleared the line 5 or 6 times. Simply because I fear not putting my best foot forward when I'm presenting my work, and by proxy myself. It used to paralyze me to think that people might find my writing in 5.. 6.. 10 years and think... what was he doing? Why would he say that?

At least, this all used to paralyze me. I chose to move forward. I'm no longer pre-emptively ashamed of being wrong so long as I'm actively working to improve. Things change and time shifts our perspectives. Someday our assumptions and things we regard as common knowledge will be proved wrong in some way. Things we take for granted now were avant garde or heresy not long ago. Think about Galileo ~ simply saying that the earth revolves around the sun in his book made him an enemy of the state. 

So I'm just going to go for it. I'm not going to overly proof read or spell check. I'm just going to spew onto the page.
