Are you a #perfectionist? Check out this love note – and a #quote :) #amwriting #amwritingromance #motivation

Barbara White Daille Posted on October 10, 2018 by Barbara White DailleOctober 10, 2018

are you a perfectionist quote

The above “love note” is from my husband. Why the reminder? Because I’m drafting a new book, and when I’m writing for my readers, I want to get things right. More on this below.

Today’s Wednesday Wisdom quote is one I’ve shared before. Again, why a reminder? Because it’s something I – and maybe you – might need to hear again. 🙂

“Don’t wait. The time will never be just right.”

Napoleon Hill

I’ve wasted a lot of time in my life waiting for all kinds of things to be “right” before I felt ready to move forward.

But that’s me. I tend toward perfectionism.

Even this morning, as I sat down to write, my husband gave me that “love note” above before he went out the door.

“Pages not perfection.”

And he’s right.

After all, this is only a first draft. I can always go back and fix the pages!

What “just right” time, task, or project are you waiting for?
