Interesting. I was just thinking about this. When I started writing years ago ( age 6) I never thought of anything like this. It wasn't until my first published book and being in the world of political world of publishing. Sometimes I never want to write again. I took a very long break from it. It's been like withdrawning from a drug. I'm seriously looking for a balance between being in my own world to write. Others loved my writings over the years. Then I decided to get one published. Hoping I can find a balance of learning techniques that enhance without taking from that sacred point of inspiration that's unique of myself, and the only reason I want to write in the first place. Taking a break. Hoping to go back. When I read a book, I enjoy it. The outer world is a critical place. If everyone is self critical like I've felt lately, readers would also suffer. Going within to a point that writing will be possible again. I'm glad someone put what's been bothering me for weeks into words heart ❤️
I mean, you say that, but the ads RUclips keeps pushing at me for Werewolf Romance audio novels *sure would benefit* from an imaginary, or actual critic.
Its good to be self-aware about your work, but listening to "ghost" opinions in your head is not good, just show your work to your family or writing communities (like showing your work to writing teachers on youtube and so on), which helps, just write it for yourself and show it, don't do it for someone else
I have this problem too. Fear and perfectionism are hard to cope with.
But... my inner critic is the only friend I have...
You can write to a guardian Angela if you want to
Yes!!!
