And thanks! :) Your past two years have put you in an amazing place, so clearly it's worked for you. All the stress is dreadful, though.<BR/><BR/><BR/>HIN - Exactly! I fret and fret about the wrong decision. And what I finally did was as Nicole suggested - I just started the damn thing somewhere.<BR/><BR/>Valerie - Yes, aaaaahhh! Sorry to hear you can relate - it sucks.<BR/><BR/>Alejandra - I'm glad to hear that. If I could stop stressiing it would be vastly better.<BR/><BR/>H - Oh, that's so awful and stressful.

My professional/school writing would probably have benefited from less dicking around, but hey ...

Haha, but seriously, the procrastination? that's me. For exactly the same reasons. And it doesn't help that in addition to being a procrastinator, I am also a perfectionist. Sigh.<BR/><BR/>My advice (in case you were at all curious) is to just Start Somewhere. When I can't get going with writing I just look at the prompt/topic and tell myself I'm going to write one page (whether it's the first page, the last page, or a random page from what will be the middle of the finished product), and then once I've started, I don't feel quite as terrible, and find that I can keep on writing.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!
