hd_writersWhen 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?

And I'm with you on the negative comments. I don't like using the fuck word like that, but I would gladly say when people are rude to make themselves feel better.
I love all you wrote, refreshing, creative, and not at all rude. Especially loved this line "tell them to go lick a fire hydrant in winter!"
