Oh goodness, I need an advice essay on confidence and self-motivation, do I ever. Especially because I am here posting a comment instead of finishing my chapter.

From lots of people's tweets and postings, I get the feeling the confidence is the #1 problem facing fic writers today.

I find that to be true about a lot of non-fic authors as well. Lack of confidence makes you awkward with language, which makes for lame prose and dialogue. Of course, no one gets confident without actually writing first. I need to take this one to heart.
