does anyone else get inspiration for fics from other fics or fanart?
Is this Imposter Syndrome?
A question for writers (though basically if anyone can answer this, I'd welcome them):
Q: Have you ever put so much energy into completing a project, a project very near and dear to you, get that intoxicating sense of accomplishment when you finish it and then... in the editing process go through a series of conflicting thoughts and emotions?
Stuff like: I've already written 5 other very distinct versions of this story, I'm not happy with this so I might as well do it over again.
Or: Well, the point was to prove I could finish something, and they say the first book you write is always the worst, so why should I spend so much time and effort trying to fix this when I should move onto another completely unrelated project?
BUT: I've been trying to write this story since I was 15 and I started actively working on this version for 6 years and only now have it completed, so I owe it to myself and the story to at least try to fix it! Even though in trying to fix it I feel like I'm only making the story worse!!!
