So, I have this tendency to overthink everything when it comes to creative activities like writing, worldbuilding, conlanging, etc, and it's really holding me back.
For instance, I put way too much thought into whether the leader of fictional monarchy of my setting should be a "king," ,"emperor" or something more original, when in actuality, it probably doesn't matter either way.
I think I've set my standards too high for my own stuff. I can shut my brain off and enjoy a Star Wars movie and not think about how the logic in that universe makes no sense, but with my own writing, I feel the need for my own stuff be logical . Like, I will go out of my way to explain why a dragon can fly in this fictional world despite that the fact it shouldn't be able to if it existed IRL because, like the real world, the fictional world is like earth is size, shape, gravity, etc, so why shouldn't I apply real world physics to dragons?
See what I mean? How can I stop fretting over silly stuff and not overthink things?
