I think a lot of people feel that whatever they produce the first time out has to be perfect. That the first draft, or even the first scene of a script has to be exactly right and if it’s not perfect, there’s no point putting it down on paper.

It’s very hard to deal with the fact that something you’ve created might be crap. You’re embarrassed with yourself that “this” came out of you, that you can even call yourself a writer (or any other artist) when this is what you’re producing.

I think being able to not only accept but appreciate this fact will make anyone a more confident and prolific artist.
