I'm a few weeks late to this. I see no shame in bracing.
as far holding the pick goes..I often like holding it at a slightly upward angle instead of a downward angle. so if your looking down at your picking hand the right side of your pick strikes the string on a downward pick and the left side on an upward pick.opposite of what iv always been told and read but it helped my timing and tone and it just feels right for me...could be steering you wrong but just something else to consider while your experimenting with your flat picking. have fun finding what works best for you
