Yes, really.

Hats, etc. The entire point of this post is to direct people fic writers over to this other post which was probably a bad idea in and of itself.

Possibly we can discuss how bad an idea it is over here?

silly hats, meta-meta

HAT!

I thought it was a rather good question, myself... :)

My confidence is presently shot to shit, which I...think could be a subject for the other post. *mulls*

Like you told Bad Horse: It's going around.

I have a Halloween idea. It is evil. Possibly more evil than last Halloween.

kseda October 29 2009, 16:14:37 UTC

But last Halloween you KILLED EVERYONE.

...it's zombies, isn't it? OR MUMMIES.

Not a bad idea at all. Sadly, it's not the lack of ideas that kicking my ass. It's the lack of self-confidence. And between work and school by the time I sit down at my computer to write I am completely fried.

Honestly, I think I'm suffering the same fate. At the very least, my lack of ideas is caused by my lack of confidence. I might get a killer idea, but I'm so frustrated by my lack of talent that I never bother to try to remember them.

My confidence problems stem from being told for years that I wasn't good enough and that no one really cared to hear what I had to say. I'm fortunate now to have a good support system in my friends but it's hard to reverse years of damage.

I've read some of your writing and it's good.

Meh...I consider myself a talentless hack compared to some of the quality writers in this fandom... :-\

Haven't read comments yet... Working on it, though.

Its getting to the point when I can't remember the last time I posted a piece of fanfiction on the internet, because I refuse to share anything until it's at least half finished and... nothing ever reaches that stage. For that matter, most things don't even reach the "first chapter" stage because I get too bogged down in complicated ideas and detail. Gen adventure stories are my one true love, the longer the better, and I tend not to feel confident writing them until I have worked out in my head what each character has been up to each and every year for the past twenty years! (and that's before I even decide what's happening in the new adventure...)
