• the feeling that everything has already been written or said by someone else
  • the feeling that my words and thoughts are not important, in fact, they are trash
  • the fear that I will write something, think it's great, then re-read it later and be disappointed
  • the fact that my working vocabulary seems a lot smaller than that of good authors
  • the fear that I will start writing something any completely lose steam
  • when I start to think about all these inhibitions, I get sickened by my thoughts and just start hating myself, and then I just can't write at all
  • the fear of being "angsty"
  • the fear of sounding self-centered
  • because I judge other people so harshly, it's impossible to live up to my own standards
  • because I know that no one is going to read it but me
