I want you to see the first draft of this, it was spectacular — spectacularly awful! See what I did there?

Funny story,

I keep sitting here trying to come up with clever things to write. This whole “one draft” business is murder for someone use to being able to hit backspace on his life. The truth though is one that I think has wider applications for anyone who produces content – if I am working to try to remember something, it probably wasn’t half as clever as I thought it was after all.

Information is like that, we retain those things that are important to us and forget the ones that are junk.

Instead of trying to pull quips from the ashes of our imaginations, maybe we should spend a little more time considering those things that stuck out.
