Anybody go back and forth with how they feel about their work? Some days I feel like my pieces are really good, then other days I feel like they're the worst pieces of crap ever written. I think that's probably normal for writers. Well, I hope anyway..

Absolutely normal. Such self-doubt is the burden we must bear and learn to manage. It should pass. If it doesn't, have a closer look at why you think your work isn't your best.

Not with my completed works. But my works in progress, yes. I go from thinking I'm creating the greatest thing ever to thinking what I'm working on is utterly terrible, questioning myself on how I could have spent so long on something that seems to lack so much. See-saw is right.

Yeah Frank you're right usually when I feel that way about a completed work I can reread it and I'll feel better. It's a lot worse with unfinished products.

You might need someone else close to you to have a read and then give you their take on it.

Expand commentI was just going through this feeling this week. Especially being one of the new comers in the industry, I find myself at times doubting my work because I don't yet have that track record and i.m still learning and developing you know. It's normal. I believe over time as you progress you become more confident in your work and the feeling wouldn't be as overwhelming.
