It's been a month since I last posted. Whoops!
When I'm writing or working on my novel there's a little voice in the back of my head that is waiting for me to pause so it can attack.
Are you sure you wanted to put that?
That sounds so dumb. You can't possibly keep that.
Are you sure you like that idea? I mean, it's not like you have any other ideas, but...
That sounds so cliche. That's the best you can come up with? What do you mean, 'it has to be there'?
Like that idea will ever fly with publishers. You should just give up and eat marshmallows on the couch for the rest of your life.
Seriously, it's the worst thing ever. Are my ideas original? Are they creative? Or just lame?
Will anyone ever want to read my books if I'm ever published?
I secretly want to be that author that everyone loves, maybe not on the crazy-fans-and-cults level but I think it would be hilarious to see internet memes or something super silly flying around about my works. I want everyone to love my ideas and my characters the way I do.
(Then again, what aspiring author doesn't?)
That little voice in the back of my head needs to take a permanent vacation.
