The truth is that good writing has structure, constructs, and rules. And, good writers are professional and businesslike. It takes practice.
The problem is we give up too soon because anything we do repetitively becomes boring. We move on to other more interesting projects. We have to learn to let go of the voice of self doubt and push forward. Move through it. Join writers groups on facebook or scribophile. Go to writers workshops in your area. Find mentors.
We get hooked on criticism and or praise. Feedback is something you learn from your audience. Criticism is part of this work. Believe me Ive heard it. The criticism that hurts the most mirrors the negative belief we hold about ourselves.(less)
