Today's musing: Redoing your work.

My biggest fear with writing is that I publish something and afterwards realize I could've done better. Two hours after I last post, a colleague came up to me and gently said: I read your post! Ummm... found some grammatical errors and there's a random sentence that is incomplete.

My heart dropped. What a lost of a good idea! Then, I heard Julia Cameron's voice whisper in my head.

"Artistic losses can be turned into artistic gains and strengths - but not in the isolation of the beleaguered artist's brain" (Chapter 8, Artist's Way).

I'm putting this lesson into practice. I'm re-blogging last week's post into what I would've done in hindsight. I'm a bit relieved that this fear isn't as bad as I made it out to be. I'm leaving my first attempt online as a reminder to myself that second chances are always possible. Let's do this again, shall we?
