RL has sucked, my work has sucked, but fanfic has been lovely for the last few days.

I am, however, having a bit of "I'm shite, my work is shite, I can't write, everything I do is terrible, I'm deluding myself, this is awful"... well, always, but particularly now. I haven't written anything solo in so long (up until this year) and I'm just fighting that "this is a terrible waste of my time and I'm a terrible person for doing it and I'm getting it all wrong" thing, you know?

Once I'm in the groove of writing, I can say "yes, this is writing the way I write, and that is good, carry on". It's picking up writing at all after this huge absence that leaves me cold.
