The other thing to remember when you're writing what you're certain is utter crap - we all get to that point. Those amazing writers that populate our bookshelves and our mentor lists >> these people call their agents and want to do a new project because the current one is crap. They want to throw away their WIP because they're convinced everyone will hate it.

And the biggest thing to remember is that you can't edit a blank page. If you never write it, that story in your head will never take its shape and you'll never be able to hone it into the gem you hope it might be.

So write. Don't stop. Don't give up. And you're not alone.
