go with what you do know, and figure out the rest later my latest mantra is "go with what you do know, and figure out the rest later." that's been an essential component to my writing process. putting together a half-hour radio show with several different voices and complex ideas is no easy task--not to mention the pressure associated with putting together a piece that's a special for the 4th of july. and sometimes i freak out in my head, 'i can't do this, ahhh, it's too much, ahhhhhhh! what if it doesn't come together, what if it sucks, ahhhhh." and then i tell myself my mantra. no worries about the end product, just do what i do know, and peck away little by little on the hard parts, reward yourself with a fun part, and soon, after many torturous hours and days you have a show!
well, i imagine this mantra is useful in other arenas, too. |
