Kirby Quinlan
Perfect is the enemy of good. I wrote for years and plotted and planned lots of stories that have never seen the light of day because I kept editing and re-editing as I wrote the first draft.
Let the first draft flow out of your fingers with the knowledge that most of it is going to be re-written during your next draft. And that's okay. Push ahead and finish, then go back and perfect it the second or third time around. Soon, you'll have a finished book you're proud to release.
