    Jim Zee says:

    To hell with worry and indecision. Just write.
    In fact, over-write by a factor of 50 percent. Turn into a writing machine!
    Then, instead of re-writing, just cut by 50 percent.
    It’s a lot easier to throw stuff out than it is to re-write.
    Excelsior!

    They don’t. They get worse. But the advice, the how-to-stop-the-doubts–that never changes. Just keep writing.
