"Good Enough: Getting the writing written and letting it go"

One main point of this article is don't procrastinate. When you procrastinate you put pressure on yourself to get everything done at the last minute. When you're under pressure it could be more difficult to put your thoughts into words and keep these thoughts organized. You also give yourself less time to think about your topic. If you have a lot of time to think about the topic, you can come up with some really interesting and creative ideas. I also learned that it's okay to start with a messy first draft. First get your thoughts out, and then give yourself time to go back and organize and polish them up. This article also taught me that my writing doesn't have to be, and will never be perfect. There will always be something about your paper that you will want to change or think you can make it better. Perfect isn't always necessary, sometimes all you need is "Good Enough." This article relates to the Social Action Research Paper because we're writing these papers piece by piece so that we are not procrastinating. By doing it in pieces, the length of the paper isn't so overwhelming. It also relates because we do many drafts of each piece so that we can polish and organize our thoughts, and we need to realize that it will never perfect.
