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?

That happens to me a lot. I think mostly because I'm the kind of person with no self confidence at all. And personally, I have no 'cure' for it. I usually just end of quitting writing that day and write again when I'm in a better mood. I try to tell myself that I'm my biggest critic and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. So I'm definitely intrigued to hear what everyone else says.
