As writers and creatives, the negative thoughts that hurt our creativity tend to focus around perfectionism, self-doubt, not feeling “good enough,” worry about what others will think.<\/p>\n

“No one will want to read this.”<\/p>\n

“It’s not original enough.”<\/p>\n

“It’s boring.”<\/p>\n

“I can’t do this; it’s too big a project”<\/p>\n
