Pre-writing Prattle

Eeeee! I'm about to write the first words of The Significance of Wings. I am terrified. I know nothing. I have cramps. But the point is to write something. I can promise that most of this will be crap. Fortunately I am able to laugh at myself. My inner perfectionist has been put in a straight jacket that will hopefully hold out through at least a week. 50,000 words, here I come!
