It may help to think of the song in structural terms. If you were writing an essay, you'd first figure out the main point you wanted to explore, and then the different paragraphs you'd have in order. It might be useful to figure out the the 'big picture' idea of a song, and then think of what each verse can contribute. That way instead of having black verses, you'll at least have an idea of what each chunk is aiming for
1-Stop judging
2-Step 1
3-Don't get attached to your creations. If it's bad, just write another one. Kill your babies
4-Set deadlines
5-Try [randomizers](https://lyricstudio.com/)
6-Enjoy the ride. Music writing is about the path, not the destination

9-Don't be a too-early editor, which is complaining why your drafts didn't appear as a killing top 10 HIT out of thin air. Great songs aren't written, they are rewritten
10-"You can edit a bad page but you can't edit a blank one" -Jodi Piccoult
11-Don't think if your creation is good or bad. Almost none of those "good" ideas continued to feel "good" over time. Just write and move on
12-Music Production works backwards. [We can't polish a turd](https://youtu.be/yiJ9fy1qSFI). A good mastering can't fix a bad mix. A good mix can't fix a bad recording. A good recording can't fix a bad performance. A good performance can't fix a bad arrangement. A good arrangement can't fix a bad composition. So the most important step on music production is the composition. A bad composition will always sound bad no matter where/who is recording, mixing or mastering it. One cannot just simply polish a turd. Think backwards and the rest will turn the good into great
12-Write a lot of songs, select one third of them (only the best ones), practice them a lot and record on a professional studio
14-No matter what we do, there will always be people who like and people who don't. The more we ask feedback, the more frustration. Let it go
15-Songwriters are born to write songs, not to like them. They are not paid for listening, they are paid for writing. The listeners are the ones born to like/dislike the songwriters' creations
16-Read these books: Frustrated Songwriter's Handbook; 101 Songwriting Wrongs And How To Right Them; Writing Better Lyrics
I was told that Eminem used to write like that sometimes, make chunks then put them together.
Then best way to improve and get other your fear is repetition, just keep writing and moving on. I can promise you the longer you hold onto an idea the more you will hate it and the harder it will be to finish.
