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?

Coca-Cola is my tea, which is not a good thing because it's rotting my teeth, and possibly the lining of my stomach. When I finally give it up, I'll need to find a replacement of some sort.

Also, I have added that book to my 'to-read list'! It sounds awesome!!!

Coca-Cola replaced cigarettes for me so I drink waaay too much. I'll never give it up, never! I drink that whilst I'm writing (and driving and walking and sitting down) and then drink tea for breaks :)

It is truly bizarre but yes, I'd go for awesome!
