pick click woes

For the past 6 months i have been playing on an accoustic with nylon strings. my heart is in rock and i plan to transition to an electric soon. Mostly because i am lazy, i've been learning chords and songs just with my fingers (not having a pick at my disposal coupled with the aforementioned lazyness to go spend $.50 to buy one). Fearing that the transition to electric and hence steel strings would feel about as good as strumming a cheese grater i bit the bullet and bought a pick. The feel of the pick wasn't too bad after a few minutes of focused right hand attention, but the clicking sound the pick makes especially when strumming a full chord drives me crazy! This obviously wasn't an issue strumming with a soft thumb or fingerpicking. Is this a problem with my pick technique that could be corrected or just something i am going to have to live with?
