Here’s a fun one to shed some light onto my own personal struggles when it comes to writing…
Every time I have to rewrite something, I feel like a failure because I didn’t get it right the first time.
Yeah… how’s that for a screwed up thought process? Anyone else have struggles like that?
Thoughts from the Front 
No! Nothing I wrote comes out perfect. Don’t beat yourself up about it.

There’s the rub… I know it isn’t perfect, but when I have to re-write it that feeling of failure just washed over me. It’s a fun issue. 😦

You sound like my sister. But hey, if you feel like a failure for not getting it right the first time, then own that feeling instead of feeling bad about it. Like, ‘Damn, I messed up again. Oh well, I’ll get it right this next time.” I mean, nothing is ever perfect, and even if it was, we’d still find fault in it. We — as humans — are just wired that way.

Lot of truth in that “wired that way” although I tend to see it a lot more in the creative types. The constant nit-picking at something to get just a bit more out of it.
