James Thurber was from my home state of Ohio, and as such we read his stuff a lot in school. I found this quotation from him the other day, and want to remember it:
Don't get it right; get it written.
Good to remember if you, like me, find it difficult to get going on big, important writing or other creative projects. (Maybe the problem for people like me is thinking about things in terms of 'projects'. I know people who thrive on that designation, but for me, it just smacks of hard slog and no fun. JP Rangaswami says that if you have a project, you have no collaboration. Perhaps for minds like mine, if you have a project, you have...no project.)
