Thank you!! Yes, second guessing my writing is what really killed the writing process for me time and time again. 

My biggest challenge is that it is fiction based off my own life story when I was a teenager. I struggle the most with wanting to be real, but then too chicken to get it out. Plus second guessing my writing style. 

After writing some fiction here, I find creating characters is much easier than writing about real people!

Thank you so much for your support, I will definitely reach out if I need anything!

I can completely relate.  

My two biggest bad habits are second-guessing myself, and editing as I go, rather than just allowing the muse to take over.  

That, of course, and never thinking anything I write is "finished" enough to share.

I'm better about it than I was, but I've always been my own harshest critic, and sometimes my inner critic just needs to get off her high horse already and take a damned nap. ;-)
