Beat the Negativity!
When you hear that little voice telling you that you're not a good writer or everything you're doing is wrong. How do you combat that?
I've had several friends tell me that their writing has been crippled by negative thoughts and attitude.
What do you do when you start to compare yourself to others or have that niggling voice in the back of your mind telling you that you can't do it?
What are some things you have done or can do to quiet that negativity and push forward with a positive attitude?

I think the crux of the matter is the attitudes of the writer and the people around them. Yeah, you can write something that's not great but if people still commend your effort and suggest how to improve rather than just saying YOU SUCK, you learn. Especially in this community - I kind of like to think we're all in this together.
