On Re-writing…

Here’s a fun one to shed some light onto my own personal struggles when it comes to writing…

Every time I have to rewrite something, I feel like a failure because I didn’t get it right the first time.

Yeah… how’s that for a screwed up thought process? Anyone else have struggles like that?

I’d pay a dollar for that!

Value.

Defined as:

the regard that something is held to deserve; the importance, worth, or usefulness of something.

It is a personal opinion as to the value of something. Each one of us holds our own idea of what we think something is worth. I find little worth in comic books or baseball cards (I like them, they are cool, but monetarily speaking, they hold no interest to me) where others have payed hundreds of thousands of dollars for them. We see the lines for the new iPhone 6 that have people who have been in line for hours (if not days) just to get one at the same price as everyone else, but they place great value on the timeliness of the acquisition. My 2004 Ford pickup truck holds a lot more value than I am sure someone is willing to pay for it (the joke goes I love my truck more than my kids (it’s not totally true.. most of the time)).
