When writing, you are supposed to invent your content, select and arrange your content, draft, revise, and edit, in that order. At some point during the first two steps, you are supposed to choose a purpose and theme. But I always want to edit for style, and thus I just start writing, editing as I go, or just form some metrical pattern, revise it, and fill it in with words. So I cannot write much, because of perfectionism, and because I keep obsessing about style, and procrastinating all day, and not writing anything. When trying to start writing, my working memory keeps getting clogged up with thoughts about syntax, meter, rhythm, etc. So I can't write.
Because of the process I am trying to use, my writing is never well-structured nor organized. I want to be a professional writer, but I will never be successful if I cannot learn to develop content prolifically. Right now I am far from that. It almost seems like I don't have the inborn capacity to accomplish it.
Please help. Thank you.
