Good Writing Equals Re-writing

Somebody smart once said, "good writing equals re-writing." When it comes to writing sermons I'm finding that I must do some bad writing very early in the week so that I have some good writing to bring into the pulpit on Sunday.I'm learning to write in two stages, trying to not be a paralyzed perfectionist who only precedes to sentence number two once sentence number one is perfectly polished. That's an inefficient way to write. I guess the Junior High English teacher was right when she required a rough draft and a final draft. Good writing equals re-writing.
