For my own work, I tend to think of it as letting the perfect be the enemy of the done. Because if I get locked into the perfectionism I never finish, and even if it isn't good, the next thing will usually be better for finishing this one.
If you should need a fiction writing teacher I could probably scare one up for you.

Yeah, that's a common pattern too. I'm going to focus them on non-fiction for now, but if there wind up being some who are more fiction writers, that's good to know. Thanks.

This is an amazing project you have embarked on. I am also a professional writer but no where near your location. I would have loved to volunteer whatever free time I have to this project in whatever way or form.
People are not perfect and I made my peace with that several years ago. I have come to realize that you may not get along well with certain people due to personal differences but that does not stop you from working with them to achieve a goal. They may have a bad attitude when it comes to dealing with you but finding common ground in the form of a goal or vision, greatly helps.

Completing my profile is long overdue. I keep procrastinating on this issue but will complete it out before this week comes to an end.

It is a commendable initiative that you are promoting. I wish you success sometimes it's hard to get them to match our idea, but when we find them they are teams that can work effectively. I wish you success, it will be very good for that group of young people who will take over one of the most important activities we can do, such as writing, to express ourselves, to continue learning and to get to know each other.

Thank you. Yes, finding a team that works is so important. And I do hope the project takes hold with the young people as much as it has with the adults who want to help. Time will tell.

i'm happy to hear more about this project! there are so many great writers attracted to your area, I know the kids will be in good hands in that regard. I'm inspired to hear you setting up this space for them and look forward to hearing more about it! The subject matter of your article (condensed in the title) is definitely something I'm specifically learning in my partnership right now. we must meet somewhere to move forward. it's been a lot of "letting go" on my end, which i think is ultimately good for me <3
