There is a running inside joke that in the South we don’t hide our crazy aunts in the attic, we put them right in the drawing room where they become eccentric characters to celebrate.

Never thought to do that with my flaws…LOL

Amazing thing this NaNoWriMo.

Janice Cartiers last blog post..Hi Ho Hi Ho

When I write lots I tend to get overwhelmed by the story and have to walk away for a bit. This means that I’m not writing and that pisses me off. But I know myself and if I do push myself to write, then I’ll write crap and then will just go back to where I felt I left off the good stuff and rewrite.

This means that my writing goes much more slowly than someone else’s but it also means that I have a pretty good version when it does hit the paper.

Some would say just write because bad writing can be edited, but bad writing just makes me mad and makes me not want to write.

In a month like NaNo, however, my slow production annoys me. I haven’t yet figured out how to manage the word count self-expectations and the perfectionist leanings…

According to researchers such as Gordon Flett, perfection is not only bad for the brain but it creates procrastinators too.

People tend to mistake excellence – which is a wonderful target to aspire to, and perfectionism – which causes mental chains.

What do you think?

If you give 100 percent to what you do, if you believe in it and love it, then whatever you do will be “perfect” in a manner of speaking, because no one else can do what you do as well as you can do it.

At least, that is what I have come to believe.
