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?

Yes! I am totally the same about longfic! Fabulous when it happens, but that's just not how I operate. So glad to hear I'm not the only one, you know? *g* The longer the fic gets, the more chance I have to start overthinking it, which inevitably means second-guessing myself, which rarely ends well. Shortficcers unite!
