The book _Writing on Both Sides of the Brain_ (Henriette Klauser) got me unstuck. Ignoring the left-brain/right-brain stuff, imagine that you have a creative, let it fly part and a critical editor part. Constant criticism from the editor can slow all creativity to a stop. Instead, tell the editor, "I promise you'll get your chance. For now, sit down and shut up." Then create in peace, but follow through on that promise.
