Okay - so I'll never hit the 'publish post' button to anything if I continue down this all too familiar path... it's the "scared of failure" path, or in my world, the "do your homework in pencil" path.
Let me explain. All through school I would do my homework in pencil. I told myself that I could always rub it out, nothing was permanent, I was making no mistakes - because, 'what this? this was just my rough copy, my first try, my draft'. Except it wasn't any of those things. It was either slapped together the night before, or 2 months late - but either way, it was it. Pencil or no pencil. So I guess the first issue is, I'm not fooling anybody - what you produce is what you produce, put it out there and let it be. I definitely need to consciously work on the second issue, which would be that there are no bad ideas and that 'perfection' (whatever that means?) is unattainable.
Let me apologise for the somewhat excessive use of talking marks. And for that matter, dashes, ellipsis, commas, brackets, strokes - look, I just use a lot of punctuation, okay? and preferably in the one sentence if I can...
Abridged Rules:
1. Write it then post it.
2. Beware of spoilers, and an overabundance of punctuation.
