Great post, Hack!
I don’t think self-doubt is limited to writers — I think all artists suffer from it to some degree. Part of it I think is the fact that we *care* so much about what we’re writing or creating. If we didn’t care, we’d just slop things together and put it out to the world.
Yes, we all crave personal immortality. Yes, we all want our work to survive the ages. Yes, we want to be fabulously wealthy. That’s all part of it too. But ultimately, we simply want to make great art for the art’s sake. We want more Art in the world, and if we could do that even without recognition of any sort, I suspect most of us would.
Questioning ourselves at every step then isn’t just lack of self-confidence, it’s because we have so much riding on getting it right.
IMHO,
~Graham
