Yesterday I went to a meetup group for writers struggling with a blank page. Most everyone there, except for me had written one or more novels. I can’t seem to get past the first page of two. It was suggested to not overthink anything. I should just let the words flow into the page.
I am hyper critical of myself believing everything I do is unworthy. And my current state of mine doesn’t help. Just to get out of bed is a challenge. My mail goes uncollected for a week. The state of my apartment is shameful but I don’t care. I’ve been unable to see any possibility of love and happiness in my future.
Writing does allow me to spread how I am feeling. However I have yet found a way to put a story to paper.
Bit you are on the right tracks with blogging xx

How does one know if what they write is any good? We had a writing prompt and I read mine at the group. Of course they said they liked it but would someone seriously say, wow you need work, that sucks?

And some people are rude enough to say your work sucks

Is it rude or is it honest feedback? I’d rather have my feeling hurt and hear the truth then to continue to write crap.

Constructive feedback would feel more appropriate to write x
