The Worst Enemy to Creativity
"The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt." ~ Sylvia Plath.
Hi, guys.
I read this inspiring post Sunday and wanted to share. It's called What If Your Biggest Naysayer Is Yourself?
This is a huge struggle for me personally. Internally, I am always dealing with these kinds of thoughts while I'm writing or editing a book. They're the kind that say what I write will never be good enough... The kind that kind that tell me I'm going to fail... The kind that tell me to quit now while I'm ahead.
They are insidious and hurtful and they kill my creativity, like Ms. Plath points out above. That quote of hers has always resonated with me deeply... maybe I should frame it and stick in on the wall above my desk.
Self-doubt. Fear. Sense of worthlessness.
In 2012, I'm not going to let those thoughts stop me from writing.
Does anybody else have an inner critic like mine?
