Fearing the Forest

[changeling67]

Hmm - writing a fairytale isn't what it's cracked up to be.  When I wrote one two years ago, it was well received but as I am a) writing for a competition and b) my stuff is being looked at by beady-eyed lecturers, suddenly the inspiration has dried up. I almost feel that if I don't get this ethically right-on, I will be descended upon like a ton of bricks.  I should be beyond giving a crap about what people think, but my psyche clearly isn't.

Need to find the courage of my convictions and get back into the zone (and other well-worn neologisms)

Writing for a competition is a surefire way to have me doubting everything. It's frustrating. Good luck, though! You'll get there.

Thanks - I have written plenty before, but none for public viewing, other than coursework. So here goes :-)

Yeah, I hadn't been hard-boiled on the stove of Higher Education back then.
