About me and this blog

This blog comes from a deeply personal place. I’ve struggled with writing perfectionism for years, rewriting, and sometimes missing deadlines because I couldn’t let go of the fear that my work wasn’t good enough. This blog is my way of turning that struggle into something meaningful.

My story

I started this blog because I’ve spent years struggling with writing perfectionism—what I call “Writing OCD.” After receiving harsh feedback in my first college writing class, I became afraid to submit anything that didn’t feel perfect. I would rewrite assignments over and over, often missing deadlines and losing confidence in my voice.

Why i created this space

I created this space to share my story and connect with others who feel the same way. My hope is that this blog becomes a supportive place where we can learn to let go of perfectionism and embrace progress together. You’re not alone, and your story matters.

Supportive community

I want readers to know that this space is built with empathy, honesty, and hope. It’s not just about writing—it’s about healing, growing, and learning to trust your voice. Whether you’re a student, a writer, or someone who just feels stuck, you’re welcome here.
