I’m insecure.
Many writer’s will admit to having
the same problem. It makes sense, of course. Writing for publication means
putting many hours into a project then releasing it for others to judge. The
worse judge most writers face lives and works between the writer’s own ears.
Some of this may come from criticisms received during childhood, some of it is
just human nature.
My inner critic is hyperactive.
Always has been. When I began writing, the judgmental critter began to shout
louder. When I wrote my first novel, he went into a shark-like feeding frenzy.
I’ve never let the inner-critic make decisions for me but I have been unable to
ignore him completely.
