I have an idea for a novel that I've been turning over in my head for quite a number of years, I've wrote several chapters and short stories that relate to the overall plot and theme of the novel, but I've never been fully satisfied with my vision to fully attempt to write it all out.
I feel as though unless I feel it's perfect, I shouldn't bother writing it at all. I was told by a published author that my idea was utterly fascinating and has great promise, but it's not perfect to me. As a result on my perceived imperfections, the core idea for the novel has underwent complete revisions in my head, to the point that I have almost a dozen different scenarios for key moments in in the story and countless endings.
I think if I sit down and seriously just try to go with the flow and put in all on paper I'll produce something good. I really enjoy writing but I have a huge fear of failure.
