I haven't made any progress since Sunday. *keels over* For the past few days I've been questioning my work, even though it's unwritten! I've been wondering if the characters would even be in character, or if the au i'm writing is too far from canon, and generally I've been asking myself other negative and discouraging questions. Wah, a first draft is just a first draft so I know I shouldn't overthink it. It has to be written before it can be edited and judged, right? So why can't I make my inner editor understand? So all week I've been staring at my outline, thinking about the next scene, and then my thoughts wander to negative things like, "this is complete and utter trash and no one will want to read it."
