While this is not Harry/Draco specific, I thought I would share because it's helped me in the past, although I wonder why. lol I know that a lot of people are self conscious of their work and wonder if it's good enough. I personally struggle with self-confidence when it comes to writing so badly that it actually hinders the process. Self-confidence is fragile, the smallest touch can shatter it, and anyone that struggles past it to finish their story, novel, novella, or even a drabble, I envy you right now. 

However, a while back when I was browsing the internet, I came across this web page about finishing "your" novel. I know that many of you are trying to get through the hd_bigbang (sadly, I may have to drop out T.T) and whenever I get extremely discouraged, I go back and read it. I don't know why, but it reminds me that other people are struggling like I am and it reminds me that I can do it too.
