I felt like I couldn't complain because others thought it wasn't a bad thing. I wasn't getting yelled at, so what was the problem? But nowadays, I still struggle because I've mostly changed the thinking ("It's okay if it's not perfect"), but still have the behaviors of "gotta be the best, gotta be on top of everything, can't let anyone down."<br /><br />I'd forget to update things on the NaNo site most likely, but I have determined to post my daily word counts here, a very visible place to hold myself accountable. I'd love the encouragement. And good luck for you, too. I know it'll turn out great!Sabrina Favorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303054417674236268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7176484070660608180.post-52266524106447140022010-11-05T10:08:28.846-10:002010-11-05T10:08:28.846-10:00I definitely don't have any suggestions for ho...I definitely don't have any suggestions for how to fix being a perfectionist since I suffer from it myself.<br /><br />As for NaNo, I think you should sign up! I mean, it's free. You could set your own goal and in your "novel info" section, you could explain that you're shooting for a lower word count or whatever you want to shoot for. Then people like *ME* could send you NaNo messages such as "great job on writing last night! I see your word count went up." Or something like that.<br /><br />Think about it!<br /><br />PS I miss your regular posts! Hang in there!JenniferWriterhttp://www.jenniferambrose.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
