I'm in the process of writing a short essay for Better Than Starbucks and it's about to kill me. I even begged it to stop being so mean. After deleting more starts than I remember I realized there are no disastrous beginnings. There are beginnings that go in the wrong direction and when that happens I just delete it and write a new one. I have to be willing to write shit or I'll never write. I know my poems are inconsistent but if they weren't I'd lose interest. I'm not trying to write lovely artifacts. So if the beginning is embarrassing delete it, thank which god you approve of for letting you live in the computer age, and charge on.
