Just one sentence

I don't know if this is something all writers deal with, but I sometimes have trouble just getting something on paper. It's the perfectionist in me. The thought that whatever I write down has to be the best thing I've ever written. So I mull it over in my head til I think it's polished, then I write it down. And to my surprise it is still quite crappy. A lot happens from the brain to the pen. So I find it much more productive to just write it down, just scribble something down, anything. Half-formed thoughts, jokes, two word sentences, doodlings of the underworld. I'm getting better at practicing diarrhea of the pen (as vulgar as that sounds), but I still sometimes find myself wrestling with the white bull all day. But when you write something down you actually have something to work with. And you can kill it all if you want. But you gotta have something to kill first.
