Inevitable

It's inevitable; I get going on writing something and then start second-guessing and saying "well, I think I might be able to write this other story better than the one I'm working on now" or "I really think this other idea might sell better than the one I'm working on now."

And this time it's not even that what I'm writing isn't cooperating; it is. I wrote over 6,000 words in two days and, granted, I've since slowed down, but it's still coming. So it's not frustration. I think it's just self-doubt. And it's totally annoying.

But the only way I'm going to get past it is if I stick to what I'm doing and just git 'er done, right? So I'm going to be optimistic and say that I'm going to write this and the first agent I send it to is going to fall in love with it and it'll sell for six figures at auction.

Not that I actually believe all that (I really, really try not to delude myself) but if I'm going to think positive, I may as well go all the way, right?
