Here you go. Check out this thread. If nothing else, it will make you smile and not feel alone. Like all JB threads it goes a bit off tangent, but keep reading it comes back again. It was called, "Will the Bear Ever Go Away" and I envisioned it as a children's picture book actually...

One of my favorites was from Matt: No, whatever it is you call the destractions and the things that make you think can't write never go away.  It can be like "A Beautiful Mind", though.  If you pay it no attention it will just lurk on the edge of your senses.  It can only consume you if you let it.

Also Cathy Clamp, (she and her partner have written I don't know how many books together--the szazi series and the Blood Song series) chipped in with her thoughts. Hopefully it will all give you some confidence to not fear what you face as you proceed forward with your writing.

You might enjoy reading some of those early threads. Just request to see the last page of topics in author craft and work your way forward. Some wonderful, thoughtful advise is shared.
