Hey guys,
I've recently realized that I have a major problem when it comes to writing: me. Well, my inner me. Which happens to be a perfectionist.
My inner perfectionist has kept me at the same scene for a few weeks now and I am not comfortable with that. I don't feel comfortable with just writing because I find that it aggravates this inner me a bit, but I wish it didn't. I want to write freely but I keep feeling this tug to stay where I am and perfect it and then move on. This ends up making me lose motivation and taking breaks longer than what I'm comfortable with. And then I jump back in because I am ultimately in love with just plain old storytelling and the stories in my head and how I'm able to express myself when I actually do get some writing done. But wanting everything to be perfect has made it all hard.
So, my question to any of you guys fighting some inner perfectionist is, how do you move on from a chapter or a scene or even a paragraph?
