If you're having a slow day, try writing the easier parts first. Figure out how many 'the's you think you'll need and just work on writing those.

Stop caring about making mistakes; that's what editting is for. Don't try to get it perfect on your first try because you won't; as soon as you accept that you'll actually start enjoying writing. If you get really stuck at a certain part, just make a note to finish it later and move on.

Honestly, the hardest part for me is ideas. I always have confidence that even if what I write comes out as crap, I can edit and revise until it’s crap done well. You can edit bad style and prose until it’s good, but you can’t edit a bad idea until it’s good. People say otherwise, but I remain unconvinced. So for me, the hard people is feeling like “Yes, that’s a winner. I can make a story out of that.” Sometimes it feels like my brain just doesn’t work that way.

The muse died and I shot it for good measure. It was a pitiful, limpid thing, and I felt only a twinge of regret as I lowered it into its grave. Kneeling there, surrounded by the dirt I'd dug up, the shovel long since discarded, I wondered to myself what kind of creature slays his hopes; what sort of monster abandons his dreams.

Abruptly I stood and returned to the house, falling back on the couch and bringing up one of the tabs from earlier to check for (you)s.
