drafts
Drafts are the saddest of all the forms of writing. They are like your first awkward kiss, or your first time at a new school. Uncomfortable and clumsy. But drafts are what make masterpieces what they are! Do you think Beethoven wrote his nine symphonies perfectly the first time? If so, you need to try writing a song. It's not that easy even for a musical prodigy like him. Every beautiful creative concoction of past and present ideas needs to start somewhere! Put a complete dream, a thought, a vision somewhere other than your head, and only good things can come of it. There are so many drafts for so many brilliant ideas out there! They never get enough attention to grow and flourish! You should go into your drafts in your texts, your blog posts, your word documents, and finish the idea you started however long ago. You don't want to leave your tenth symphony unfinished do you? Even if the final product isn't "good-enough" to share with the world, at least you put effort into completing an idea. I'll bet you, more often than not, if you put the work in to finish something, you'll be proud enough of it to post it, share it, send it, print it, retweet it, whatever. Apply this to friends, love, school, anything really!! Never leave anything unfinished, or not done to the best you can.
