I'm guilty of a couple of these, and so are a couple of my friends. Hopefully I can work on those issues, and encourage others to as well. Myself, I'm guilty of perfectionism and polarizing. I'm a casual writer (I have to be as I am in the military and as of now do not have sufficient time to write on a regular basis), and one of my stories that I really want to finish has taken over 7 years since I keep revising it everytime I get to it. I should finish it first, and then get to revising it. Thanks! .-= Mindy´s last blog ..<a href="http://vaneral.deviantart.com/journal/27131366/" rel="nofollow">Writing Advice</a> =-.

It is pretty easy to feel negative these days, but it really doesn’t do much good.

@ Evelyn

Perfectionism can be very haunting. Some standards are impossible to live up to.

It was helpful to spend time thinking about these fears instead of denying them or avoiding them. I also found that having a clear picture of their symptoms helps me to recognize that a problem is occurring more quickly. John,
