When I read it, it's like hearing my own voice, so I try not to read works that I've already completed. Editing is pretty difficult for this very reason. I do know that I'm a good writer and that there's nothing wrong with my writing voice, I just hate it because I know it's mine. I'm working on being more confident, though.Wed, 08 Mar 2023 17:57:45 +0000https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=393993https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=393993run on sentences, could literally be the most profound thing ive ever written and it will be fully incomprehensible because i use like 7 commas Sun, 05 Mar 2023 18:57:58 +0000https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=393807https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=393807I absolutely love world building, and I obsessively flesh out every little nook and cranny of each place and character.

(That I'm guilty of) I'll add an additional: failure to re-write/edit. Sometimes a first draft is truly inspired.
