If I don't learn this...

I've realized I will never draw a comic ever if I can't learn to loosen up and just draw. Everything I do has to be so freaking perfect I'll never actually do anything!

So guise, if you have any advice on how to just draw faster and accept your mistakes or what-have-you, please enlighten me. I have been in a comics rut for years and it is sad times for me. I actually have the time to do it now, but I never go quickly enough because it will never be good enough.

Also, I have serious issues capturing motion. 95% of my drawings just look posed. Or they are posed. Or they're stationary in general.

So yeah. Advice would be so appreciated. If you want examples I've got some older stuff on DeviantART that is still a pretty true to how I draw now.

Wait, there is one picture that I feel has movement, but it is really stylized and not how I draw on a regular basis. And you can see where I started getting nitpicky anyway (the tiny details appearing hither and thither).
Who needs proportions when you've got style?? (hint: I do.)

Just found a book about the female form in motion. It's just a ton of stills from videos of ladies doing things like walking, jumping, balancing, bending, sitting, and, of course, sweeping. They are women, after all.*

Sketches of people moving to come later. I want to do more crafting first.

*Disclaimer: I am a lady and am all about lady rights. I also like to joke about them.
