This is exactly what I needed to read today. I'm struggling with my first novel... going away from it for days on end and then going back, telling myself I'm the worst writer to have ever graced the planet. I've repeated that to myself regularly. From when I've written up interviews, to programs for music festivals.
Who cares... for now? We'll never meet the expectations we have in our heads anyway, so just get it down and worry about editing once it's in existence!x

Have my arse in the seat and just writing my novel - could be shit but who knows?
