I am a perfectionist, so I bought myself this.
Sometimes, it is easier to do nothing perfectly, than it is to do something.
Especially when you’re a perfectionist and the possibility of failure is weighing on your heart with every step you take.
So I’m wrecking my journal and seeing what happens. NaBlo is also giving my inner perfectionist a run for her money, forcing me to write every day, regardless of quality.
It’s probably good for me.
PS, it’s also my birthday today.
I so have the same problem. I stop writing because I don’t want my penmanship to be yucky. Or I don’t want to have crossed out words. Or whatever.
Thanks for being an inspiration.
I’ve found myself becoming less of a perfectionist, the more arting I do. (It so *is* a verb… honest!)
It’s the realising that art in any form, be it painting, writing, photography… it’s *your* take on whatever the subject is. It’s always going to be subjective, and so it doesn’t need to be perfect.
Pity I didn’t learn that while I was at school doing art… I would have had much more fun! >_<
Also… let me know what you think of the wreck book – have noticed it a few times now! x
