Manage Two Inner Critics

  • Separate the destructive inner critic from the discerning critic in your creative process.
  • Let the destructive critic speak, then invite the writer to emerge and continue creating with the discerning critic in the background.
ADVICE

  • When self-doubt creeps in during long projects, focus on the "sense of impending shape" in your work.
  • Commit to your story or creative process, ignoring the audience or fear to maintain momentum.
