Often the thing that we spend the least time on is better than the thing we spend most time on. When you tune your guitar there is a stage where you’ll say, “It’s good enough for Rock and Roll”. It’s the same with everything. That book your writing? 80% is good enough because you’ll never get to 100% ever. The 80:20 rule says that 20% of your activity brings 80% of your results, so why do we worry about the remaining 80%? Publish, put out a second edition that fixes the mistakes later – perhaps. One of the well known classic books is Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. She began writing this as part of a competition when stuck indoors for a few weeks due to poor weather. She was 18 at the time and hadn’t written anything before. The critics hated it, but the public loved it. The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas was written in two and a half days, an excellent novel. The fastest hit songs ever written were done in 10 minutes – Just Dance – Lady Gaga, Skyfall – Adele, Photograph – Ed Sheeran. The message here is get out of your way and just write. That doesn’t mean that these were the finished product, some of them were, but some needed a little polish afterwards. Whatever you write in a hurry might also need a bit of polish, but if it’s just spelling and grammar that are needed for polish then Grammarly can sort that out for you.
