To borrow Nike's slogan, just do it. Just write. But accept the fact that the first draft is going to stink. Resist the urge to revise as you write. Just keep going, and once you get to the end, treat yourself to a treat and put the story away for a while and work on something else. Then come back to the draft. That's when the real work begins.
