ScorpionHela: fucking rewrites..I hate having to majorly fuck something up for the sake of an assignment
genralstan: hehe
genralstan: i enjoy it.
genralstan: but that's because i think everything i write is crap, so maybe--just maybe--a rewrite will elevate it.
ScorpionHela: am I the only one who likes their own writing?
genralstan: i hope not.
ScorpionHela: maybe I'm cocky, or something, but I think I'm doing okay..
genralstan: i just know i don't like mine.
genralstan: i think you are, too.
genralstan: my confidence in my writing comes in un-erotic spurts.
genralstan: but usually i have to be puffed up by others, who read it and tell me it's not shit.
genralstan: that's my big problem.
genralstan: well, one of them...
ScorpionHela: I like reading my stuff. Maybe this is counter-productive. Is contempt for ones own work necessary for improvement?
genralstan: i don't think so.
genralstan: you just need the awareness to realize that maybe it's not instantly a masterpiece.
genralstan: but it also doesn't need to be torn apart.
genralstan: just polishing.
genralstan: i'm aware, at least, that i'm overboard on the self-hatred.
genralstan: but most of the writers i know have boatloads of false modesty.
genralstan: they're just faking like they hate their work, so if somebody else actually does hate it, they can fall back on, "told ya so."
genralstan: it's pretty depressing that i seem to be the only one who really believe my stuff is garbage.
ScorpionHela: fuck you
ScorpionHela: haha
