I didn’t see this till now, but I’m still going to answer because I’ve struggled with the same thing, Madelyn!

I read your question and knew immediately what I was going to say.

And then I saw Alabama’s reply.

She answered with exactly what I was thinking, just in a more refined way. 😉 But then again, she’s always had the reputation of stealing my ideas and using them… or maybe it’s the other way around… 😉 😀

But @bama-rose, I have to give it to you. You said it perfectly. Just like I would’ve. Still reading my thoughts I see. 😉

So anyway, what I did was simply started writing. I basically forced myself not to be so perfectionistic by setting a timer and seeing how much I could write in that time. I still didn’t write as fast as I possibly could because I still cared about the quality of the writing, but I came to realize what Alabama said. You really can’t edit a blank page. So start writing.

And if you didn’t guess by now, it was indeed my dear friend Alabama Rose who taught me not to be so perfectionistic with my writing. 😉 She’s a great teacher. So I recommend that you take her advice and put it into practice. 🙂 You can do it!
