It is so conceited and timid to be ashamed of one’s mistakes. Of course they are mistakes. Go on to the next.

Being in the mood to write, like being in the mood to make love, is a luxury that isn’t necessary in a long term relationship. Just as the first caress can lead to a change of heart, the first sentence, however tentative and awkward, can lead to desire to go just a little further. All of us have a sex drive. All of us have a drive to write.
