Why is this so hard?

Ugh. I'm struggling putting down words because I know at this point that they suck. I'm such an edit as I go writer. I need to break that and just get the story out.

Anne Lamott always says that you should sit down and say to yourself, "Self, today you are going to write a shitty draft." That way, your expectations are low so you can keep going

I don't like what I've written. Booooooooooo but I'm writing it anyway lol

It's not even OMG, awww not where I wanted to go with this but ooo it has a lovely mind of it's own but full out, ewwwwwwwwww this isn't what I'm trying to say and it makes no sense either.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck!

Great advice, ladies! Thanks!

Um, ditto everyone. It bugs me to see typos so I keep correcting them. And I'm second guessing everything I write. I know I shouldn't care but I am tempted to have someone read what I've written. But I know its too soon for feedback and constructive criticism.

Push through, you can do it!

I really need to turn off the TV and just write. I've hit my day two word count, though.

It's OK! You can edit crap but you can't edit nothing.
