Writing and Rewriting
As I look back on the hundreds of quick articles I have written. I think about their value. And there is some. Some substantial value even. It’s just going to take a great deal of work to uncover and transform that value. The same is true for my body of sermons, or even the other sermons this church owns from previous pastors in their employ. here’s the thing. Good content, whether visual art, writing, video, whatever, has two steps in it’s creation. Making it, and making it good.
First you write junk, and then you revise that junk until it’s good. That’s how you get good writing.
There are some good Ideas I’ve stumbled over in the last 10 years. I wonder if anyone will ever revise those ideas into something good.
