The Problems of Perfectionism

Hey folks, happy Saturday!

Sadly don’t have as much to share this week as I would have liked. I could blame the holiday, which kept me from working for several days, but that would only be partially true.

You see, I must make a confession: I am a recovering perfectionist, and it would seem I have suffered a small relapse. I’ve been sitting on the final chapter of Session 5 for a while now, not because the chapter is bad, but because I am convinced it could be better. This has led to several failed attempts to edit the last bloody pages with little success.

I know I should move on, I know it’s good as is, but there is something I cannot shake about it and it has forced me into a cycle where I get nothing done. I am hoping to break that today! I will get this silly chapter done, then get Session 6 slammed out in the next week or so. If I’m successful, I should have a good chunk of Session 7 done before I leave for my writing retreat at the end of the month.

If I fail…well, good thing I’m going on the retreat. I’ve left you all hanging for new content long enough!

Anywho, that’s all I have for now. Hope you all have a nice weekend!
