We need to make messes in order to find out who we are and why we are here--and, by extension, what we're supposed to be writing.

We point out their (children's) mistakes. We frown. Our cheeks flush. We teach our children embarrassment, fear, shame when they fail. Let them fail. Encourage them to try, and fail again.

Failure is a cue to try harder rather than as confirmation that they lacked the ability to succeed.

You become a winner because you're good at losing. Successful people learn from the failure that the tactics they used didn't work or that the person they used them on didn't respond.

Once you're done you can throw it away. Failure counts as done. So do mistakes. Destruction is a variant of done. Done is the engine of more.

Have you ever considered that bad art does more for the world than good art? Artists spend more of their lives making bad practice pieces than they do masterworks, particularly at the start. And even when an artist becomes a master, some pieces don't work out. Still others are somehow just wrong until the last stroke. You learn more from bad art than you do from good art, as your mistakes are more important than your successes. Plus, good art usually evokes the same emotions in people--most good art is the same kind of good. But bad pieces can each be bad in their own unique way. So I'm glad we have bad art.
