writing

need to do content generation writing in a separate mode from editing. 'write with the door closed. edit with the door open.' it's too easy to overthink things if i'm trying to argue with a room full of people while i'm putting down my first draft. just get it all out and pretend no one will read it when i write the first draft. then come back to edit while imagining explaining it to someone else.

have faith in your own editing. yes, the first draft will be awful. but, yes, it get better with more work.
