Beat the Negativity!

[kitty_fic]

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'd get too hung up on each word and completely over-think everything if I did that. I'd freeze completely. But that's why everyone has to go with what works for them. Also, as a poet Robert Hass has the luxury of working in small chunks. Me? Not so much.
