Writing is rewriting. Here's me writing the essay "Startups in 13 Sentences." Characters in yellow will ultimately be deleted. Notice how few characters I type make it into the final version. http://byronm.com/13sentences.html …

I wrote this essay using the product of a now-defunct startup we funded. It's interesting to see an essay being written, but I didn't want to write any more using it, because it made me too self-conscious.

Most things I write, I rewrite even more than this. This was a fast, straightforward essay, because it was about ideas I already understood very well.

Thanks for sharing this, Paul. Striving for a finished product on the first, second, and even third draft is so paralyzing for so many people in so many different endeavors -- from writing to business to sport.
