Write it even if it sucks

One of the problems I have with writing is my perfectionism.  Sometimes I get stuck figuring out what to write because I can't think of a perfect way to express myself or a perfect plot twist or a perfect scene or a perfect whatever.

To help me with this, in my word document in which I'm writing my story I add a header so that this phrase shows up on the top of every single page:  "Write it even if it sucks.  A sucky book is better than no book at all."

The Story

Once, the Imaskari were a great nation. In Deep Imaskar in the Underdark, the Imaskari are growing more and more resentful of the High Imaskari above the surface. They want to reestablish their old empire. To accomplish this, they have made a deal with the evil red dragons. In exchange for the destruction of their foes, the metallic dragons, the red dragons will help wreak havoc on those inhabiting the ancient lands of the Imaskari.
