So over the past few months I've mostly been working on co-author projects which has done wonders for my burnout recovery while letting me still make books. Today I woke up, sat down at my computer...and realize I have no co-author stuff to work on currently. So it's time to work on my own stuff again. Awesome, cool. This is a good thing.
Except I'm frozen.
Everything feels "not good enough", or "not profitable enough" or some other reason. I'm terrified of writing my own books and it just hit me today that's because I'm terrified of them Being Bad. With co author projects I have a built in quality check, my co author will tell me if something is Bad and therefore it'll get caught before it gets to the readers. No one will yell at me if it's bad.
I used to have the audacity to assume my stuff would be good or go over well or be liked. I didn't let fear stop me. I lost that at some point.
So...gonna force myself to regain some of that audacity. Dunno how yet - wish me luck - but I've gotta try.
