Phases of an artist (with particular reference to writers, but also applicable elsewhere):
Phase One: OMG, I can write, and it's, like, awesome and people comment and they actually like it and everything!
Phase Two: Hey, um, actually now I read it, some of it's not that great. I should make it better.
Phase Three: Urgh, there's too much of it, and I hate it all - I can never make it better, I might as well just delete it.
Phase Four: Nothing I write turns out enough better than what I've already deleted, and it's taking forever because I can't make it good enough. I might as well give up.
(Usually a nervous breakdown or a long break from writing or something happens here to bring about an epiphany.)
Phase Five: Hey, I actually enjoy writing. I should just write, do the best I can, concentrate on keeping on improving, and not let my perfectionist inner editor control my life and stifle my creativity ( ... )

Meh, I've already deleted some. *points*. But Okay. I'll leave them up there. Sorry for touching a nerve. I was feeling especially inferior then. -.-

MEH THE THEME OF PIERCING THE VAULT I HATE IT THAT NO ONE WANTS TO PUBLISH MEH UNDER MEH NAME AND I HAVE TO WORK THROUGH A BLIMMIN TEACHER- he's a good teacher, mind.

:P
Thanks, Lily.
