The essence of NaNo
I'm quoting this directly from the NaNo site, having stolen it from an ML:
Every time you try something new, you risk failure. That’s why most people who aren’t small children don’t try new things.
They spend their lives creating a routine that will insulate them
from doing anything unfamiliar because most people can’t do unfamiliar
things perfectly. And if you don’t know exactly what you’re doing all
the time, you might accidentally screw something up and fail.
I’ll tell you a secret: I fail at most things, at least at first, and it hasn’t killed me yet.
Failure isn’t something to be afraid of. Failure means I tried.
Failure is the process I must endure before I can achieve success.
Failure is beautiful.
