Don't think aloud

I’ve been thinking about self-doubt among writers. Have you ever read something that just blew you away and made you want to walk away from writing because you’ll just never be that good? Or read something that was so poorly written that you couldn’t understand how you weren’t a well-published writer already?

I’ve been dealing with self-doubt a lot lately. And no matter how good our support network is, ultimately writing is a solitary thing, and I think it all comes down to your inner self. How do you deal with self-doubt?
