And finally, we have a cause of procrastination, which is quite similar again to the self esteem issue. And it's this idea that whatever you write just won't be good enough. To which I say, perfection is garbage. Perfection is terrible. Because you're saying it's not going to be good enough, but by what standards? If you're aiming for perfection, then yeah, it's going to fall short of that.

But if you want to make something as good enough, here is my strategy for it. Right, right, anything, even if it's a train wreck, even if it's just an awful list of festering pile of words, that's fine. Because you can edit that and transform it into something better. You can iterate it, you can get feedback on it, you can get guidance on that. And you can take something that's just woeful and iterated into something. Amazing.

What you can't do is iterate nothing. And what you can't do is achieve perfection straight out of the box. So if you worried that what you write won't be good enough, it probably won't be. That's correct. But that's not the point. And that's not a problem either.

Simply write anyway, read back over it, read back over it, with the aim of improving it. If you do this a few times, eventually your writing style will be so good. You realize you're editing things less and simply writing even better and better every day. All the time.
