Am I being overly critical?

Got writer's block? Want to improve your prose? Grammar and spelling gotcha down? Then get out your sock puppets and chuck your sanity to the wind! (sanity is the number one block to writing)

Am I being overly critical?

Post by SqueezeMe »

Ok, here's the problem. Lately, I've had awesome ideas for new fics. I find one that I truly love, and start writing the outline. This I think, is part of the problem. I'll get through the first few chapters, then go back, think it's crap and delete it all. It's either that, or I loose all motivation for the story. :roll:

Part of this, I think, is because when I make an outline, it feels like I'm taking something out of the story, and making it fake. I don't know or understand why, but something just feel manufactured. When I go back, and I see it as that, something just tells me that it's lame, and that it doesn't deserve to be read. :-?

Am I being overly critical, or is it just cold feet? How do I get over it? HELP!!!! :pale:
