I’m 21 (M). I’m a web novel author, but I don’t consider myself a real author yet because I’ve never finished a single book. I keep dropping story after story because of a lack of motivation, no joy, boredom, and constant self-doubt about my writing skills.
Today, I faced my greatest doubt: should I even continue writing novels? I’ve been writing for two years, yet I saw this guy whose book reached the Top 10 even though he just started writing. Seeing that made me question everything. I can’t stop comparing myself to him. He started one book, and it reached the Top 10. Meanwhile, I’ve been writing for years, and my book hasn’t even reached the Top 100.
I don’t know if what I’m doing is right. Even though I’m still a newbie, I can’t stop comparing myself to him. I don’t know, man… no matter how many self comfort I do, I just can't help it all. #inspiration source
