I found a whole new problem to deal with, even worse than writers' block. And it's been plaguing me until the last few days.

I'm talking about "hang-ups." As has been stated several times on this subreddit, there's a bit of exposure and vulnerability in submitting a script. You're showing a part of yourself - kinks, preferences, that sort of thing. So a fear of judgment permeated my efforts to write scripts, keeping me from finishing any of them.

"People might think I'm some sort of pervert," said the porn writer on the porn subreddit(s) for porny people who make porn. Yes. I know. It's ridiculous if you think about it like that.

A new trick I've discovered is to just write "Acts II-III" first, then write the plot around it. This kind of helps eliminate the trepidation, because writing the sex "is already out of the way" by the time I start writing the character portion. It also helps to guide the plot along, because I have my destination already in front of me. Another bad habit I have is to write around 1,500 words of plot before remembering these characters are supposed to engage in intercourse. This helps prevent me from doing that.

What are some tips you have in overcoming hang-ups? Do you just "power through" the fear of judgement, or have you found some other way of mastering the doubt?
