Writers can be their own worst enemies. “This is the worst thing ever!” “No one is going to read this!” “My career is over!” These are just some of the thoughts that run through my head when I’m drafting. We know this is a first draft. All you have to worry about right now is getting the words down.
 
I have to remind myself to stop hating my work before it’s even finished. Stop it. Step away or walk away for a bit. Be kinder to yourself. Especially on the days that writing is the hardest.
