Thanks. I know my perfectionism is getting in the way, it's just that even writing what I feel seems impossibly huge and my usual methods of dealing with writer's block are failing me. I feel embarrassed and self-conscious the moment I start typing. But I knew some people here would understand or encourage or advise :)

I know. I'm a fellow perfectionist :D I guess there isn't any universal recipe for getting over such things, but I think it's important to remember that they're only in your head and aren't objective reality.

When I'm very self-conscious about having to write something, I usually try to distract myself from the process - I listen to music when writing, or drink something that calms me down (peppermint tea, non-prescription sedatives) and simultaneously makes it harder for me to really concentrate. I guess getting drunk would have a similar effect, though it is, of course, a much more unhealthy practice. It helps me to be more relaxed and get into the mood for writing.

hmm yes, I should try to find some music that strikes the right mood. And have a hot bath in relaxing oils or something. ha, I sound like I'm preparing for a date not trying to write a letter. (Think I've been over-using alcohol lately so it isn't working so well anymore.)

and thanks :)
