I Love to Write

Do you find yourself ever doubting yourself too much when you're writing?

How do you combat that doubt?

Well there are as many styles of writing as there are people and just as many people that would enjoy your writing. So even if you don't like your own writing doesn't mean someone else won't.

@canusernamebemyusername I feel like it has the potential to be a great story just I don't have confidence in my writing ability to get it there lol I'm just keeping writing and trying my best to but that little voice of doubt keeps creeping into my head and stressing me lol

@JammieDodgerHeart Van Gogh said he had that same voice. Rowling used alliteration a lot. Something you aren't supposed to do. Bullies are often internal. If you write for anyone just write for yourself. I have heard many times writers have to step back from their work otherwise they would revise forever.

Not much, no. But a little doubt I think is healthy. If it isn't flowing naturally, I don't force it. You have to get in a zone, that only includes you, your heart and your head. Sometimes music helps to open up the mind.

Persist, if you hate what you wrote, delete it. If you are unsure, sometimes share it or come back to it?

I wing it. If I re-read it later and I don't like it, I change it.
