What are the biggest challenges to you when writing/what hangs you up?
For me, it's over-analyzing and paying too much attention to insignificant details. Oftentimes I need to remind myself to step back and just enjoy the story and actually write it without worrying about how tall people were back in the X ages or how much rainfall whatever city gets per year. Lol. I now have a Post-It above my desk that says "Worry About It Later. Write Now."
I also have a bit of a problem with editing-as-I-go, which is another thing that can slow progress down to a crawl. Again, "Worry About It Later. Write Now." Haha.
