The way you see your own writing is so warped. There are rich and famous writers who cant do what you can. Please, please be kinder to yourself. What you have is incredible! The way you play with ideas and characters is so unique and! Your writing really stands out as something incredible! I've never felt as emotional about a piece of work as I have about everything I've read from you!
Ooooh - thank you! This really, really touched me!
Admittedly, I am hard on myself but I’ve never really stopped to notice just how harmful this can be. Just lately I started going back and reading some of my older writing a few years back, and was so embarrassed on behalf of my readers that I omitted some chapters. It’s nice to recognise improvement, but ahhh, I end up hating my own work far too much, far too often.
I love learning, and finding ways to interpret a character's expression in new ways, but I must remember to forgive myself too. We can only learn by mistakes, and climbing that mountain is never easy. But ahhh, your praise!! It makes my year!!! Sorry I took awhile to reply - life has been pretty crazy!! And ah, I wonder, which work of mine is your favourite? :) Thank you again. Have an amazing day! I tip my hat to you!
