My only hope is persistence, so here I go for a day of wrestling with the Muse.
If you're looking for some writing practice, and some feedback, sign up for the I'm Hearing Voices Blogfest..or look up the A to Z Blogging Challenge!
Happy writing, folks!

Love that! It's so true.
This is the hardest challenge I face in my writing. I've always been such an anal short story writer, and first drafts took days but ended up needing very little revision. Now, as I tackle my first novel, I HAVE.GOT.TO embrace the fast, messy, crappy first draft. Because using my short fiction tactic will result in a first draft that will take about two decades to write.
Feh! Nonsense I say. I am like the Midas of writing. All words I spew forth are gold! Heck, I expect to win the Pulitzer from this blog comment alone. :)
Kidding!
Practice makes perfect, right?
The Challenge will definitely give you practice!
Very true and beautifully stated!
No, I start out writing good stuff that gets better and better.

Very nice. Reminds me of "She was maintaining the prime truth of woman, the universal mother: that if a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing badly." from What's Wrong with the World by GKC, the patron saint of underachievers! Thank you for the encouragement.
I want to do the Rule of Three! sorry I missed it, but I will do it on my own just for the practice.
Goodonya, damyanti!
Can't argue with that.
What a well put dose of reality. And a charge to do better. Thanks!
That's a great quote, and I believe every word of it. I really struggle with the persistence. Trying to get over that.
I found you on the A to Z Challenge site. This will be my second year - looking forward to it!
Wow! It's only the second day of sign-ups and when I checked the linky, the number already stands at 360...
It seems like the challenge has already taken on a life of its own!
Let the party begin!
Just popping by to say Hi for the A-Z challenge.
Now I'm off to try to get a bit more prepared than last year :)

I'm reading Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott, and she states the same thing as Butler. I'm looking forward to lots of practice in April.
