So, I have a horrible habit of writing and automatically going back to edit. it's so bad I'll sometimes edit a paragraph for an hour. I'm annoyed at myself constantly and it's hard to turn off that inner critic. I am, however, working on it by writing, sensing an issue and highlighting it. this allows me to look at my work, acknowledge the problem but still move forward with my writing instead of getting stuck on something so minute. we'll see if it works out.

Writing paralysis is so odd. especially when you have tens to thousands of ideas in your head. one of my teachers told me when it comes to writing there are the brick layers and the builders and that we could all benefit from being builders who make a mess and fix it later, but it is so hard. I keep thinking of all the things I need to fix and all the things that don't get what I'm trying to say across, and it doesn't help me in the slightest! the plan for the day is to just write. make it bad and don't think. the mess I make will be future me's problem. IDC!!!
