Ooh, I think most writers have struggled with this at one time or another. (I know I have XD)

I’ve often found myself writing a single sentence over and over, and staring blankly at the screen, trying to remember the exact right word. And then writing becomes outright painful XD

I want it to be perfect. It is perfect in my head, but seeing my pitiful attempts to put it into words just makes me want to give up.
