Thumbs up if you think "what now, bitches?" should be added to the soundboard

OMG That's so severely heartening, coming from an aspiring writer!

@zephoratube It's true we're our own worst critics, but my suggestion is to pay more attention to the voice of what you love to do regardless of what you keep telling yourself. I never thought I'd ever have the necessary focus to finish a book because of my ADD, but I had to keep pushing against myself and absorb myself in the stories. I've since written 2 books and plan on writing many more. If you can push enough to finish it, that's what matters and you'll gain more self-confidence once you

[bluefishbrad]

@Ryvensan Good luck , I hope you can acheive your goals

[sleepyfish]

[Zephoratube]

Nice story, but in my life I'm my own biggest enemy, not people around me. How do I deal with my own inner enemy that keeps telling me that I am a failure? If only I could get rid of that annoying voice and find my self-confidence, and if I could also train myself in self-discipline, I would be where I want to be for sure! But I keep boycotting myself...
