Words n stuff
I started an online writing class this week. Sixteen weeks and eight assignments—all in the memoir genre. I received my first packet on Monday (assignment: home), and went through all the warm-up exercises to help get the ideas flowing. It was going pretty well until I read the enclosed examples of writing on the same theme. They were spectacular and moving. My ideas seemed sooooo lame and shallow in comparison. Why must writers be their own worst critics?

that sounds like a fun class. i would love to read anything you write for it.
You're overthinking it! That's how I felt with the Art Center Web class I just took... but I ended up getting near perfect scores. Just trust yourself and don't compare yourself to other writers! You are spectacular and amazing and I love reading anything you write. Are you going to post your completed assignments here?
