Lyssa deHart
Somewhere in the middle of the writing process, I froze. I had been writing easily, and then my fears popped up, and I worried that I had just written 20000 words of garbage. I called my writing coach in a mini meltdown. He told me, "That's normal, just push through it and keep writing. We can edit out the garbage." My "must be perfect" button had triggered, and it shut down my brain. When I acknowledged it and breathed through the fear, I was able to start writing again.
