advice for the day

From Anne Lamott's Bird By Bird:

"Your day's work might turn out to have been a mess. So what? Vonnegut said, 'When I write, I feel like an armless legless man with a crayon in his mouth.' So go ahead and make big scrawls and mistakes. Use up lots of paper. Perfectionism is a mean, frozen form of idealism, while messes are an artist's true friend."

Write on.
