I deal with the problem that is oh so cutely put above. I am constantly seeing bigger and better than what I'm doing. I am my own worst critic when it comes to anything I do, but writing especially because it's what I care about the most. The idea of failing and/or not living up to my God given potential drives me insane.
I am learning to take it one step at a time and look how far I've come! I've spent a year and a half on Wattpad and have written the equivalent of 2 novels (I can't publish them because they are fanfics.) Before joining this website, I loved to write.. but the drive and determination to make it my love was missing. I can honestly say that it is now my life (Besides God and my family) It has given me an outlet.
I guess that's my little wisdom for the week! Anything you write is a step in the right direction, even if it looks horrible. I have a ton of drafts that are just atrocious, but they show how I've improved. And who knows? Maybe I can revise them later on and make them something interesting :D
