My two cents: just create something imperfect.
It will be ugly, it will have errors and flaws.
But you will gain something, you will learn to make something better next time.
Just stewing in your own juices and never putting anything out there is the same a standing still.
Unstick yourself first and only then can you tell how far you can carry your creations toward perfection.
The writing experts call this "write ugly". Get it down somewhere, out of your head. Only then can you look at it, evaluate it, edit it, etc.
Bob Ross taught painting the same way. Start with something, anything. Change it if it's wrong, let it lead you. Happy little accidents. But if you never open the paint...
i may be old, back in the day we called it practice
Right, but here's the trick: I can't do the same thing twice. So if I write it ugly the first time, that's the best that's ever going to be. What a waste of its potential! 😅
