Re-writing


One of my main problems is my fear of my own scribblings! Shock! I once read that Sam Beckett hated everything he ever wrote. Well, I am no Sam Beckett, but I can sympathize. When I write something I have a personal feeling of writhing at ever re-reading it, let alone re-writing, or re-working. I get an idea, some days are better than others, type it it into Word, and that's it. Sometimes, months later, I go back to admire myself. Then I think, we'll I'm not so bad, after all. One of my main questions is: Am I doomed to live in this state of insecurity until my mind withers?
