I've had my share of challenges with self-esteem on many fronts--I've learned over the years that I can avoid all manner of performance anxiety by feeling prepared.

Trick #1: productive procrastination. When I'm stuck, I research with a vengeance. I read and look up things until I find I'm seeing the same information and I'm convinced I've learned what I can on a subject. That gives me a feeling that I know what I'm talking about! And then I feel strong enough to write.

Trick #2: percolation. I think about the scene I want to write before my writing time begins. I let the scene play out like a movie in my head or talk to myself in my mind about how the scene will go. I may do this while driving, in the shower, or walking the dog, but my favorite time to do this is while I'm drifting off to sleep. The next day, when it is time for my meeting with myself to write, the idea for the scene has finished percolating and the ideas come much more easily.
