self pity replies

I am having 'this day' for the past month or so, which is quite unpleasant. I just make myself post stuff on tumblr though, like at least here! Here it works and here it's -mostly- nice.
Yeah, I've been filled with crappy self-doubt about my writing for a while. I just get so overly-critical and freeze up, and that's like this really bad loop I get stuck in where that makes me feel even worse because at least if I'm writing crappy stuff, at least I'm writing at all but instead I'm just sitting here staring at stuff I've written as a rough-draft and end up seriously crying. :/
So then I end up taking what I feel are the same set of pictures over and over again and feeling crappy about that...

Egads! Must be something in the air. I'm having similar feelings about a work related project with a deadline tonight & can't seem to shake of the cloud of self doubt. You can do it! Just remember that you're fabulous. ;)
I'm so sorry you're dealing with that feeling about work-related things! I can't even begin to imagine feeling this way about something that involves an actual deadline. *hugs*

I feel ya. Been trying to edit the posts for my BC for a week but it just ends up stupid >.<
That's exactly how I'm feeling right now! I'm looking at this and just being like 'What is even the point?! Why is this here?!' but if I don't have that scene there, the next chunks don't make sense and ugh.

Just post them! I hate drafts for this reason, cuz as longer they there as more doubts I get. And they're not pointless! I'm sure I'll enjoy every single one of them <3
I can't just post them, though! There's seriously entire chunks of dialogue missing and it wouldn't make sense. Maybe I can just post something that says 'They went to a funeral and are now at the wake and Gloria talks to Aja and then Aja ends up in her bedroom because she's upset and for some reason everyone sends TR to talk to her even though he's terrible at dealing with emotions and now this is the scene I really wanted to write.' and then post the scene I really wanted to write.

You are awesome and your brain is awesome and puppies love you. It sounds like you feel frustrated, and I hate getting the art heebie jeebies.
Thank you. And yeah, I'm seriously frustrated and depressed. And 'art heebie jeebies' is a fantastic way of expressing a large chunk of what I'm feeling.
I don't know about puppies loving me, but there's definitely a fat white cat who doesn't mind me using her as a footstool right now, so that's gotta be something.
