Do you guys ever feel paralyzed by self-doubt and over thinking things? Stemming from real life and bleeding over into fannish life. It’s gone from the realization during interviewing candidates for my assistant’s replacement that they’re all - ALL - better qualified for my job than I am, to reading fic (and published novels) or watching vids and

In a word, yes. :-) I think you and I may have had a comment discussion about this very thing. Heck, I may still owe you a comment back.

As for the job, you have more experience, yes? That counts for a lot. And I adore some of your fics and vids. Maybe the grass is always greener?

And thank you. *hug*

*clings* Man, I wish we lived closer to each other. And you are very wise for one so young. ;)

*hugs you tightly*

I agree with this wish! After this crazy snowy winter I am thinking we should all move to Atlanta. ;)

*hugs you and Boo*

Yeah sometimes. I try to remember that nothing is set in stone, you can become better qualified, you can get better at writing and vidding, all it takes is time and work.

Thank you. Truer words... :)
