Getting Stuck on the Perfection Spin Cycle
"You're not in the perfect business.
Stop pretending that's what the world wants from you."
Perfection causes fear.
Fear causes paralysis.
Paralysis sucks the creativity out of you.
Have you ever been stuck in this crazy spin cycle?
If so, here's the deal . . . there is no perfect writing. Don't even go there. Beating yourself up when you write something because you think other authors could put the words together better than you is a big, fat lie. How can anyone be creative when they're stifled with that kind of pressure?
You don't need to write perfectly. You just need to write.
Print that out on a sticky note and slap it on your computer.
