Almost all good writing begins with terrible first efforts. you need to start somewhere. start by getting something-anything-down on paper. a friend of mine says that the first draft is the down draft-you just get it down. the second draft is the up draft-you fix it up. you try to say what you have to say more accurately. and the third draft is the dental draft, where you check every tooth, to see if it's loose or cramped or decayed, or even, god help us, healthy.
Writing Effort Healthy
I am a technophile, so there is no such thing as a first draft. the first draft plunges on, and about a quarter of the way through it i realise i'm doing things wrong, so i start rewriting it. what you call the first draft becomes rather like a caterpillar; it is progressing fairly slowly, but there is movement up and down its whole length, the whole story is being changed. i call this draft zero, telling myself how the story is supposed to go.
Zero Progress Stories
First draft: let it run. turn all the knobs up to 11. second draft: hell. cut it down and cut it into shape. third draft: comb its nose and blow its hair. i usually find that most of the book will have handed itself to me on that first draft.

People who get higher pay are more willing to relocate--especially to undesirable locations at the company's behest... a corporate secretary may change companies in the same town; a corporate executive is more likely to change towns with the same company. a talented corporate secretary sees an invitation to relocate as an invitation; a future corporate executive sees an invitation to relocate as an opportunity--and an obligation.
Opportunity People Getting High
One of the delights beyond the grasp of youth is that of not going. not to have an invitation for the dance, the party, the picnic, the excursion is to be diminished. to have an invitation and then not to be able to go -- oh cursed spite! now i do not care the rottenest fig whether i receive an invitation or not. after years of illusion, i finally decided i was missing nothing by not going. i no longer care whether i am missing anything or not.
Party Years Missing
With the presidential debates right around the corner, john kerry is going to play mitt romney to help the president prepare for the debates. that's kind of a stretch; a rich white guy from massachusetts playing a rich white guy from massachusetts.
