RE: You’re a perfectionist? These eight mantras will get your writing done.
"It takes what it takes"
I always say this to myself when I wish to make my first draft itself golden, like a piece of fine art. For many of us, many a times it won't work out like that, right? It would stop me from starting itself. So, I let myself start off by saying, although its a struggle, it takes so many rewrites it would take. It takes what it takes.
Great post!! Thank you for sharing. This perfectionism kills me everyday, to pour anything on to the paper. I think we need people like you. I am eager to read your book. These should be on our walls.
I REALLY like that one. I find myself reminding myself of something similar. I often feel the urge to get something done quickly. When I remind myself that it's just going to be a lot of work, I'm less stressed and my work is better.
