I agree.
I tend to write short stories and poetry. I submitt them into a newsletter at my school, when I write poems for it I get hyped up and submitt it with the intention of putting my name on it... over the last 5 years.. I have nevr put my name on whatever I have put forward for the Newsletter. Lackof confidence I guess.
I have one complete story that is deemed quite childish (by myself) I would love to sit down and write a full novel. I tend to get halfway and give up because I think its not good enough.
Does anyone, when they are writing, tend to have a standard of their own?
and when you cannot reach that standard be it in poetry, short stories or Novels, you stop the project and move on? I have so many unfinished things in a huge notebook... I cringe everytime I even glance at them.
