How do I overcome the need to paint straight lines?

Avoid long straight lines

Instead of doing a big long straight line for about 5-10 inches...which for many of us will not go nice and straight and even, try doing a broken line. Do small s strokes, do dots and dashes, try an inch of line and then a dot flower. You don't have to be able to pinstripe to get a nice lines. There are hundreds of ways to do it.
