The way I heard it best was, "Give yourself permission to suck."

That works, in the interest of generating some ore to refine.

The other best advice I ever heard for writers was, “Every day, get dressed.” I once heard a story about John Cheever, who would get up every morning and put on a suit and tie. Then he’d take the elevator down to the basement of his apartment building, where he had a desk in the boiler room. There he would take off the suit, carefully hang it from a pipe, and work in his underwear to cope with the heat. At the end of the day, he’d put the suit back on and ride the elevator back up to his apartment.
