Crisis of Confidence.

by Adam Turner
17th July 2012

I recently came across the 7000 or so words I wrote for my dead-end writing hobby. I don't know why I stopped, but I just did. Anyway, four months have passed now and reading it again without the pompous naivety I wrote it with, I now realise my writing is a load of rubbish. It seems weaker and less physiological (does that make sense?) than I thought it was. I feel as though I want to start again but I don't want another 500 stories with only the first line and an over-thought title.

Should I start again?

It was an excellent reply Jon.

Do not worry about the spelling mistakes.

I am guilty of many mistakes when I rush my replies.

If you have something to say, then say it, Adam.

But without the spelling mistakes and word repetition! :)
