The world is full of "meh"
Thursday, 7 March 2019 21:17I managed to write a few hundred words on "Lovealikes" which put me in a writing mood, but then I had to do the laundry which put me off writing and gave me a headache and now I'm stuck firmly back in the pit of
"I am a failure of a writer"
"I will never amount to anything"
"I've vastly overestimated both my ability to spin a compelling yarn and my ability to string words together into compelling sentences"
and
"I should just stick to the kind of vacuous fannish babble I do best and leave the actual writing to the people around me who actually know how to do it"
Bleh.
I just wanna feel good about the things I doooooooooooo
I want to believe that people aren't just being nice for the sake of it when they tell me I'm good at writing.
And most of all I want to get the kind of writing done that doesn't make me cringe uncontrollably when reading it over, killing every shred of motivation I may have.
