If I ever get important enough to warrant a biography (ha!), the period of my life I'm in (starting at age 17) will be called something like 'the crisis of confidence'. No matter what I do, I have found myself completely unable to see anything I create as something other than a piece of shit.

As such, I've sort-of dedicated my life right now to proving to myself that I'm not a completely unlikable talentless fuck-up. I'm sure these feelings will go away over time.

It was quite possibly the worst time in my life (so far) to write a novel (though to be fair, I did start it before all this went down). Even though initial feedback has been positive, I'm still not happy with it, and probably never will be.
