Aspiring writers will often put more creativity into making up reasons not to write than they do their work. They all sound perfectly reasonable, but they all amount to the same thing: excuses.
You don't have to know the destination before you arrive. You don't need everything to be right first time. Or second, or fifth, or seventeenth.
Force yourself. Write the fucking thing.
Yeah. I'm probably going to mow the yard, get a shower, eat dinner, watch a movie, and then complain that it's too late to begin writing this evening.

I hate that feeling of coming up with a name, then several weeks later, feeling that it's pretty cringe. Or feeling like I'm trying way too hard with a name and ending up with something that feels too snowflake-y
I had to rename one character because she her name was two letters off from a politician that I wasn't acquainted with until recently. The replacement name that I gave her ended up making her multicultural in the process.
