Alright, I don't know if this is even in the right subforum, but seeing as this pertains to writing and it's nature, I'm just going to post it here. I need help, vitally.
How do I say this without sounding over-confident? I'm a decent writer. Good, even.
However, even if I know my work is good, the thought of actually putting it up here for scrutiny grabs me in the gut and twists. I try to tell myself that it's the same as my visual art, that the only way to progress is to get critique, but somehow it doesn't feel the same. It might be because writing is such a soul-baring experience while drawing is somewhat more technical, more easily quantifiable.
Another thing is that it's hard for me to justify working on SCPs when I can't use it for any other part of my life. Everything in my life has gone towards my career. Everything. The media I consume, the monetary choices I make… It's not that I don't have a life, it's just my work is my life.
It's difficult to say "I'm doing this for myself, just because I enjoy it." for a person like me.
I really, really appreciate any insight you guys might be able to give, and am interested in hearing what kind of hang ups you might have about creation/writing. Hell, maybe I can be of some help!
Also, anyone else ever creep themselves out writing this stuff?
