Do this for a couple of weeks, and you will quickly discover two things: One that you can write just as well, and Two, you will find your own ideas falling onto your word processor quicker than a Californian bushfire. By doing this, you physically give yourself permission to write, and write well. You will quickly overcome the prejudice of thinking you have to be John Grisham. You don't. You can copy John Grisham. Then you can be yourself.

By start writing we keep getting more idea to write. Just like a domino. Yeah perfectionism is not always a good thing to have. By start writing we keep getting more idea to write.
