Why am I so insecure about my writing, guys?

That's just part and parcel of any creative endeavor, alas. On the flip side, just remember you must have a pretty healthy ego to post things in public. ;p

Write what you like, dude! :D

P.S. I'm still working on a prompt for you, and I've started the R/J/S.

Yeah, you're right, T. It's the RSG that's giving me endless grief because everything is coming from Remus' POV, which would be find except that I'm on Team Sirius, lol! The focus is heavily on Sirius, but I worry that everyone will think I've somehow failed my team because it's not from Sirius' POV. The focus is more subtle, and that worries me. But, I've decided to just write the fic I was planning on writing and everyone else be damned! :)

Oooh, I can't wait for the fic! Curtain shopping + R/S/J = OTP! <3

Yup, don't care too much about what others think. Write what you like and want to read; I'm more than sure your readers wil like it too. :)

Hopefully! It's just this one fic that's giving me tons of grief, and what people think about it does matter since there is a voting component. But, I need to let go of that; you're definitely right. If they think it's rubbish, so be it! I like it. :)

Intoxidated!Leah says: I like all your fic even stuff that nobody else seems to like. You're brilliant. I wish I could write half as good as you because then I'd be AMAZING and I don't just say this but I erally mean it and you're so fucking talented it's unfair that yuou aren't a big name fan. you should be. i swear to fucking god on fish fingers and custard.

Swear to fucking god on fish fingers and custard? Oh L, this is why I love you. <3 That, and you put up with my endless self-frustration and provide me with all the moral support I could ever ask for. <3

See, when you go to bed at 10 every night and then have a social life on the weekends, I get all wonky. I need your constant approval, bb!

It was a Doctor Who reference, the fish fingers and custard. See, even when I'm intoxicated, I know what's really important: cheerleading H and Doctor Who and Harry Potter.

I'm sorry you go all wonky :( You do worry too much, though. You're brilliant.

After I posted this, I did write drunk! For the first time ever, actually! Just me and a bottle of Grey Goose and Hawaiian punch. Thankfully, I'm an articulate drunk, so I can still write without being completely ashamed the next morning, lol. XD

Um... I actually had an idea for a comm the other day that might help you with the WIP backup. I mean, not with your insecurities, but then again, maybe, I don't know. But I need someone to help me mod it. ^_^*

All in all, I agree with eprime that insecurity is just part of being a creative person and making creative things.
