Having trouble putting the kibosh on the little voice in your head that says ... YOU SUCK ... well me too.
She creeps up in the middle of a great scene and says, no one will read this you idiot.
This happens to me more times than not. It's the struggle to feel confident when there's nothing to be confident about. When you don't have a published book and your spending you're time writing it like it's your job. Husbands/ Boyfriends/ Friends and Family are asking, do you ever get off your computer? Will we ever see each other again? And with those questions you start to think ... what the hell am I doing here, I'm no writer...
I found myself wondering this same thing earlier today and you know what I told myself ... Take a hike inner editor ...
YOU HAVE TO START SOMEWHERE!
...and I persevere.

I'm glad you persevered! That inner negativity seems to pop up like a cork nearly every time I write, but I never let it stop me. Keep on keeping on. Writing is something that takes time. And we've got a lifetime. =)
