Five steps to polishing them up
Someone said: from everything that I write 90% is waste, 8% can be used, 2% is gold.
I try to live by this rule.
Sometimes the gold might be hidden in waste.
Love that. I'm pretty sure there's the odd nugget of gold (or at least usable writing) hidden in some of my early, mostly-waste manuscripts.
I'm sure there is!
Sometimes all it takes is a couple of months to pass by. People evolve, thoughts grow into concepts and the thing you wrote in your old days may get a second, new meaning.
Love the saying. Never heard of it but so true to writing and life.
Excatly. Writing is a mirror to life. That's why a lot of sayings easily apply to both.
Write until they become not so shitty.
