Thanks for the words of encouragement. I thought I would feel better getting this off my chest but it didn't work out that way. I read your post and Joy's and Ember's . . . but still had to come to terms in my own head that it is okay for me to be writing something badly.
I posted this on a NaNowrimo forum earlier:
Someone just asked me what I was doing to further my efforts at becoming a successful freelance writer . . . I told her that I was spending the month of November writing badly . . .
It is working for me . . . there are changes happening to me as a writer . . . there are changes happening to me as a person . . . and my word count is now more than 17K . . . paint me happy with all of that!
I need to remember that and be okay with this process!
