I've written only TV pilots and shorts. I'm no slouch, my pilots get read requests and I've had some meetings and real interest - but I've also cornered myself. I've just started forcing myself to embark on a first feature (mostly for practice) so everything scares me. I'm swinging for the fences.
I'm excited to properly execute it. I have ideas on what/how things to change. But I haven't really been able to sit down and work on it lately. For various reasons.
It's easier than trying to get everything in the first time! Just get the idea down and go back to make it good later. My last book I added about 4,000 words in revisions.

I'm dreading the pedantic dumb comments from people who do not understand what I am talking about.

Part of me wants to rush through it as fast as possibl, but I have to force myself to write even slower so I can stick the landing.
