Doubts

Hi all, I've noticed when I go from writing longhand to computer doubts always set in. Is it right to feel this way about my own work?

Many thanks Myrisha

Hi Myrisha,

When I write in long hand first, that is usually treated as a first draft, typing it up is my second draft so things always get changed from the longhand version.

I think all writers have doubts about their work, that's what keeps us going back and re drafting over and over to make it better. Even well known writers still find fault with their work after it's been published, so yep doubt is normal.

The great thing about being a writer is you don't have to get it right first time, you know like lets say, a brain surgeon, or someone lol.
