I find its the hardest part of anything. Swimming. Homework. Exams. I`m going to go with the swimming pool metaphor here, because it works. Basically, tell yourself to jump in is harder than doing it. The leap is harder than the splash.
This is why I always get stuck at the planning phase. Because I freak myself out of doing anything, and start procrastinating actual action because I'm afraid.
But, on the upside, I've found that, once you take the plunge, its actually easier. Like jumping into a pool, once you jump, gravity does the rest.
All of the above was me telling myself to stop thinking it through already and throw myself into this contest application. JUST DO IT ALREADY, self. I'm the weirdest combination of carefully considering everything and diving into stuff without thinking.
Okay, somewhere in the above text is an actual point: don't get caught up planning every little detail (that's how we get all those books about futuristic, controlled societies that the character would do anything to escape). And also, don't use aforementioned planning to avoid actual action.
P.S. I'm not saying don't plan. Planning is essential. I'm just saying don't have a bunch of plans floating around without ever getting done.
Wow. That turned out to be a very long, and relatively pointless post. Sigh.
