Sitting outside in the sun, the anxieties of last night seem really far away. Even though it would take very little to bring them straight back.
One rule of writing is never compare yourself to other writers, especially if they are published and you are not. Because they have an entire team helping them make this novel, and you only have you.
If you want to salvage any of your self esteem. Don't compare. Not that its easy to avoid. We all compare ourselves to others constantly. Seeing how we measure up compared to them.
Having anxiety doesn't make my writing better, even though there's alot of talk about how being mentally ill and creative are linked.
It doesn't make your work of better quality and it certainly doesn't give you an edge over other creative people.
It just isn't true.
