Every book, every article, and every blog post for that matter starts off with a first draft.
Your first draft sucks! It’s utter and complete crap.
Every writer on God’s green earth has heard this line in one form or another at some point, and somehow we come to believe and even tell ourselves this, too, as if it is okay, without ever considering the true mental and emotional impact.
I refuse to join the chorus. I do not agree. (Well, I wrote the book about it!)
