Nervous & Embarrassed

I am shaking as my fingers tremble through writing this. I am petrified to write an article so poorly edited. It will barely make sense. I’m not usually this shut down. It was traumatizing to see how epically I failed.

All it took was a good writer to read one article and whoosh. All my guts and glory gone. I am at the bottom of the barrel. No air, drownding. I have wasted months of my life. Shared intimate details of my life, and I was broken down by the faults in my writing.

Just One Person

One person can influence others. This one person showed me my writing isn’t worth reading. So I will try again from scratch. Try sticking to daily routines write ups or something easy like how to draw.
I wrote what I thought was good. Very quickly realizing over 42 private comments later, I suck. I make many editing errors. I’m now afraid to write creatively, and worst of all, I realized why I don’t get curated. I thought I could be a writer, but it is very hard. I believe that people see all the flaws in my writing now. And no wonder I’m in curation jail. Duh. If your a good writer, keep up the good work.
