<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">This essay was written for the </span><a href="http://positivewriter.com/writing-contest-you-are-enough/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">Writing Contest: You Are Enough</span></a><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">, hosted by Positive Writer. The goal of the contest is to help writers face their challenges and ignite their passion for writing.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">When I am writing a story or a poem or a song or an essay or
any kind of written work that I want to be the best of which I am capable, I
have found my success in achieving this goal corresponds directly to how little
of a shit I give about that goal.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">In short:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the less I
care, the better I write.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Counterintuitive?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maybe so.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But true.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Our lofty expectations thwart us at every turn of
phrase.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">When we care too much and agonize over every word and every
punctuation mark, we are doomed to failure.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Freedom enables human beings to lead happy and productive lives and this
applies to all forms of human endeavor, writing among them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By that, I mean freedom from
self-consciousness, freedom from self-doubt, freedom from anxiety about the
rules of grammar, freedom from concern over the expectations of others … you
get the picture.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The feeling of complete freedom will enable you to write as you’ve
never written before.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Writers cannot afford
to care about what others may think—or even about what they themselves
think.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Getting words on the page is all
that matters and anything that prevents or slows that from happening is bad.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When your inner critic begins inhibiting your
writing (as it will), remind yourself that everything is possible in the
revision process and everything is permissible in the first draft.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Not only is everything permissible in the first draft, but
everything is welcome and encouraged.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There is no word limit, there are no grammatical standards, no standards
of decency or decorum.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You need not and
should not worry about anything or anybody when writing that first draft, not
even its quality— <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">especially</i> its quality!</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">You will probably not be the next Shakespeare.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But you can express truths about your life
and the world you live in as nobody else can—believe this before you sit down
to write a word.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And when you’re
writing, practice not giving a shit about your grammar, about your wisdom, or about
your intended audience.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just write your
truths as best you can, as though nobody else is ever going to read them.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Not giving a shit will free you to write as you never
dreamed possible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">So stop caring and start writing!</i></span></div>
