Perfectionism and A New Genre
Working in a new genre is hard. I've been expanding my writing into the Steampunk genre, and it's a tentative foray to say the least. I'm constantly second guessing every single word I put on the paper, wondering if it is authentically Steampunk material. I have always been a perfectionist and now that ugly part of me seems to be rearing it's head, causing lots of self-doubt. I got involved in two campfires to further my writing skills in Steampunk and I just painstakenly crafted my two additions over the last hour. It seems that no matter what I do I second guess. I hate the feeling that brings. I wish that things were easier in my head.
