After my first book was published, I was terrified of writing another one that wouldn't be 'good enough'. For a few years, I dealt with this by avoiding writing anything other than 'work stuff'.
The National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) came to my rescue, forcing me to blurt out 1500 words a day regardless of quality, for a month, until it became a habit. The lack of time to re-read, edit and perfect yesterday's work was just what I needed.
