As you may know, I'm working on a book to be published with Columbia University Press. I'm feeling the pressure of the deadline as I grasp the enormity of this project. I've been quite comfortable writing when I was a student, but working as an author has been quite a different experience. I care so much more this time and I feel that what I have to communicate is so important. This is what I'm sure will make it all worthwhile. On my toughest days, I rely on Anne Lamott's Bird by Bird and her words on $hitty First Drafts for inspiration. I also shared this with a client when it became clear that some of their strategy plans needed a "try again". No need to be discouraged or disappointed. It's all about iterating toward something better. This is true for writing a book, design, most experiences, and life in general. From time to time, I will document my writing process here in the hopes that it will be helpful to all the aspiring writers out there.
