Me, a writer: This wip is the best thing I’ve ever written. Every scene is so interesting and the pacing is perfect and it’s emotional and engaging and brilliant and so many awesome things happen. I can’t wait to share it with everyone, it’s absolutely fantastic. 

Also me, exactly three seconds later: Wow this wip is just a boring repetitive mess. I think there was one halfway decent scene like seven chapters ago? Why am I even writing this no one will ever want to read it.

Moral of the story

—

All writers worth their salt struggle with doubt. 

(I released a book a lot of people are really enjoying and I still catch myself cycling through self doubt constantly. I am attempting a simplistic way to deal with brain goblins and become a better writer by thinking about my writing realistically, instead of negatively. Try it with me?)
