storyteller
sometimes I forget that I'm just a teenager writing a webcomic in my spare time, so I shouldn't hold myself to the same standards as, say, a feature film with an entire team of professional writers, or Hiromu Arakawa. Writing flawed stories is okay, and even necessary in order to write better ones :)
(if you want to read aforementioned amateur webcomic...)
This is greatly encouraging. I often avoid posting things I get excited about or spend countless hours fussing over bc I’m too afraid that whatever I make or share won’t be “good enough”. I’ve got so much writing I keep hoarding that I think about posting but never do because I always think. “It’s not good enough” or “maybe if I just rework it again it’ll be better and then”, I fret over not being high quality enough or that no one will like what I make. I forget that sometimes you just have to do it. Enjoy the process. Mistakes are ok, each failing we learn from. The only way to improve is to try and no failing comes without new knowledge.
Perhaps it’s time I start trying a bit more to accept that sentiment for myself as much as I do for others.
