I am getting more and more terrified by the second that I am going to get to college and everyone is going to be a better writer than me.
When this thought first occurred to me, I promised myself that if that happened, I would just get over because I like writing even when I am not the best.
But it is still scary, the thought that maybe I am actually a total crap writer.
I am thinking I want to be a librarian.
And I want to move to the UK, for sure.
I want to marry a man who is skinny and likes to drink.
I want children who laugh and have accents different from my own.
I want to write forever, but I am indifferent to whether or not any of it is published.
I still want to be better, though, than other people. At writing, I mean.
At least in college.
Its terrifying me.
but you are sooo so so good and those other writers will read your work and they will be scared that you are better than them. and i mean this.
Writing, like any art, is not something where anyone can really be better than anyone else. Of course, there’s the obvious mechanics part of it, but aside from that, writing is free reign. Your ideas are parallelled against everyone else’s, really.
It’s a standard worry, but you’ll gain confidence when you get there, for sure.
