Hi, @dekreel

We can definitely relate!

Haley and I shot a video that hopefully should provide some encouragement, and help you finally kick that comparitis and self-doubt to the curb!

How to stop doubting your ability to write, and finally stop comparing yourself to other writers.

@ariella-newheart  Why, thank you, ma’am.  🙂

@Dekreel basically what has already been said. I struggle with this too. Especially recently. I found an author whose skill in my chosen genre is so crazily far beyond my own I don’t dare dream I’ll ever reach it.

Oh whoops I didn’t see that @dekreel was already going to…*shrugs*  Can I draw her anyway?

@aislinn-mollisong  *facedesk*

@aislinn-millisong  I will do her!

@sage-g  *gasps*  You are really talented.  She looks great!!!!! 🙂  And thank you.

Original – “John executed a perfect overhand cut, which Xavier quickly blocked with a hanging point.”

And yes, I did just pull two…[Read more]

@rochellaine aw, I can’t join you this time! will you be on Monday?

@skredder  Hopefully her hair is how you imagined it…and I wasn’t sure about her eyes so I just did brown.  🙂
