I'm so glad that you pushed through and posted something anyway, even if you weren't comfortable with the current state of the piece. I think that's one of the most vital parts of being a writer--being willing to be vulnerable and get feedback from other people. You've got a great community of people here, many of whom feel the same way you do. Let us be a support instead of intimidating. You've already got a great start on that just by posting your struggle here.

You can do this! You will come through October a better writer and more prepared for the November challenge. You will meet new friends and find joy as they comment on the characters that up until now have been known only to you. Just keep writing! You have so much to offer us!

Blessings,

Amy
