You’re an amazing, insightful writer with great headcanon and understanding of the characters.
I sometimes feel like I’m not??? Like I question myself all the time and worry that my conviction to my ideas and interpretations is just snotty arrogance? and that maybe I’m just wrong and my ideas aren’t that great? Also I worry about my voice and prose. It’s a mess. But thank you <3333 I am glad you do like my writing.

Channel all that negativity and then some into your writing. That's what I do! Honestly, you're fabulous and have nothing to worry about in the least.
Can you tell me how you do that? Because whenever I try to do that kind of thing it backfires? I can channel anger and spite, but not self-hating negativity

write down your negative thoughts. all of them. just write it down even if it is jibberish. then, put it aside. look at it tomorrow, rip it up, crumple it, whatever, and toss it out. it should help work through some stuff.
see, i can’t really do this because writing them down and voicing them makes them feel more “real” and therefore more “true”. i think it’s just how my brain works because it doesn’t make me feel silly or make the thoughts feel ridiculous, it lends more weight to the “truth” of it. but i get why it works for other people! *snuggles* thank you, though, bb! <333
