Pick Pick Pick

Stop picking, you'll leave a scar!

Seriously, leave the picking for your analytical, editing brain. Don't pick while you write--it's counterproductive. Take it from me, I'm a serious control freak. But there's only so much you can polish. Also, be sure to take a good look at your pickiness and decide if what you're really doing is procrastinating.

Your Assignment

Write for 15 minutes or 500 words without using your backspace/delete key. Or, try writing 2 pages longhand if you usually type. See if it helps you stop picking. Remember, you can pick to your heart's content during edits. You can edit something. You can't edit nothing. And you'll end up with nothing (or very little) if all you do is pick.
