That feeling of ...Oh, man, I agree that it's hard. That feeling of peace that you mentioned is powerful stuff, though, isn't it? I like the way you said that. Have you read BIRD BY BIRD by Anne Lamott? I read it once a year as very pleasurable writer's therapy. She talks (hilariously) about how she silences her voices (the ones who say those lousy, debilitating things) by imagining them as mice that she picks up by the tail and drops into glass jars where she can't hear their negative squeaking. Heh, heh, heh. Nice to know that even well-known, successful writers need to keep those jars around for that purpose. For what it's worth, I've read your blog numerous times and you definitely don't "suck." :^)Anna Leflerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06968276973881720329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1596278161414501200.post-86718710379213595012008-09-10T13:18:00.000-07:002008-09-10T13:18:00.000-07:00Many times, I have been where you were that day. ...Many times, I have been where you were that day. I still am. I know writing is my "calling" because of the peace I feel when I have done it but I can't squelch the voice that tells me "you suck" and "who do you think you are, leave it to the smarter people." Ugh. It's so hard.

While you have always been a good writer, there is a clear difference between then and now.
