I just take a shot gun approach to writing. Write all my ideas first and then link everything up. I know it won't be perfect the first time around - probably not ever.

This factor is probably the greatest inhibitor of writers. Somehow, some way, we must figure out a way to just write our way through it. For me, I start where the passion is. If you are writing a book, write the chapter you like the best, with the scenes you want to write first. Then work your way forward and backward. Anway, I think its something we all struggle with. Writing is about exposing yourself and your thoughts to the world. Its natural to feel a little self concious.

I can recall so many times when i kept rewriting my web pages because i wanted them to be perfect but all i ended up doing was spending alot of time on something i didn't have to. It's sad because i waste so much time doing stuff like that. Perfectionism – This is something that will haunt me for the rest of my life like a ghost..lol.

If I am given any sort of assignment that I have time to ponder, I am a little bit of a super critical mess. That is why I think I am a better blogger than a magazine writer. <em>HoundsGood's last blog post..<a href='http://houndsgood.com/2008/07/14/got-pets-you-have-to-try-triscents/'>Got Pets?

I've been chewing my nails over writing a new post too. They want funny, and I'm naturally sarcastic but I was scared of coming across rude. I guess I'll just chuck it out there and see what happens.

I know I struggle with it also. I find that it really helps just to write something and get it out, without editing it while writing. Then, go get a cup of coffee, take 5 minutes to surf the web, then look at it again with fresh eyes. Often I find what I quickly typed out is not even that bad. <em>Highest CD Rates's last blog post..<a href='http://www.highestcdratesinfo.com/wachovia-cd-rates/'>Wachovia CD Rates</a></em> I think this problem affects a lot of people.
