Jacquie, tell those internal voices to leave you alone until it’s time for you to edit!! They may be useful to you then. But when you’re writing they’re nothing but a distraction.

I’m out of town right now and my laptop isn’t behaving itself… If there’s any post I’ve missed, I’ll get to it on my return, April 28.

Thanks for raising this interesting and useful point. Yehudit. Especially because it’s one I hadn’t thought of myself. Of course the subject(s) we’re writing about can — in themselves — provoke anxiety. The strategy of focusing on your crappy first draft and promising yourself to edit later is what will work, here.

Richard, is there any way to write faster, so that you have time to edit your crappy first draft? If you could manage this, I think you’d feel better about yourself.

If the ACT of writing makes you feel good, Steve, that’s a great place to start!
