I've literally done this like 6 times with writing. I start writing something and after like 3 sentences I say "who the fuck do I think I am that anyone would give a shit about what I have to write!?" I've never gotten past one paragraph.
I don't know why comments feel different, it's probably because I use social media to just vent my frustrations and express just how much I loath who I am. Sorry for using Lemmy as my therapist! :P
Ahhh, when I use to write fanfic I thought the same way but came to the opposite conclusion.
I am writing for me, I want to write it and read it, and I'll throw this into the ocean of other fanfics and no longer care if anyone else wants to read it. If they do, it's there for them.
You'd be surprised how often one fanfic in a sea of fanfics can leave a lasting impression on someone.
