(Anonymous) 2013-05-25 01:07 am (UTC)(link)Everyone knows that getting good at something takes practice - and in mine and others' experience with almost learning almost anything, from music to sports to drawing, everyone hits points where they are suddenly unhappy with the work they are producing! The reason for this is NOT because you've gotten worse, but because you've gotten better! And your standards for yourself have unconsciously changed! It can be very demoralizing, but in the end this new perception you have of your own work will help to motivate you to keep practicing and work even harder, as long as you don't give up!
Learning a skill like writing goes in cycles, or in steps, but not smoothly. The way you view your work will go back and forth like a pendulum, or sometimes all over the place, but I can promise you that as long as you keep writing steadily, the quality of your writing decreasing to you is only an illusion. And to everyone else it will only seem as though you are steadily improving.
Don't give up and believe in yourself! Keep working at it and you will see the value in your work again!

I want to say that it IS normal and the mention of cycles is A+ spot on for me. Sometimes you just gotta take a break, go for a walk, enjoy the sunshine, play with the cats, ride a bike--and don't think about writing. Do some art, or watch a movie instead. Read a book.
One year I wrote over 100 things in a year. Yeah. That was crazy. The year before that, though, I wrote maybe 30, and had a couple of months where I didn't write anything at all for fun because I just needed some breathing room and a break. If you let your hobby-writing feel like work sometimes, that makes a person very dissatisfied. P:
We can get so invested in WRITING ALL THE TIME that we forget to let ourselves be INSPIRED too. :)
