Request: A Bit of Perspective

[jaye_voy]

Hello,

Have you ever looked at something you've written, decided it's crap, started looking at pieces you've previously written and decided it's all crap and it's better to just take it all down and quit while you're ahead?

Well, I'm not quite at that point, but I'm definitely not seeing much to recommend in my stuff. (I'll also admit that this may be a spillover from some real-life stress/self-esteem issues that I can't do much about right now.)

So I think I need a reality check, and I'm asking for your help. If you've ever enjoyed something of mine, I'd appreciate if you'd take a moment and drop a quick line listing something you like about my writing, and maybe something that needs improvement or something you'd like to see more of. (Not "post more often", though, please; I'm aware that would be at the top of everyone's list, at least as far as "Only the Strong" is concerned.)

I apologize if this sounds whiny---I'm thinking if I let this mood settle I'll be in for a serious case of writer's block.

Thanks,
Jaye
