(1) Get it on the page. Fix it later.
(2) In order to achieve (1), promise yourself to do one hour of writing every week. More is nice, but one hour is the commitment. Because unless your life is crazily, appallingly busy, you can take one hour out of the whole week to write. And if you truly can't do one hour each week (it doesn't have to be the same hour), then probably the thing to do is arrange your life so that you can do it. Then do it.
