Having one of 'those' crisis of confidence, coupled with writers block weeks.

Worked my way out of the writers block, but still suffering with the nagging doubts of this isn't gonna be good enough, no one will want to read this dollop, crisis of confidence...

So, to the internet, and let someone tell me what I already know...It weirdly helps to read another writers perspective on "Things NOT To Worry About During a First Draft."

The first read-through of the play is done! It's a truly funny play and the talent in the cast is unbelievable, but I am a little scared of just how many lines I have! Lots of work ahead of me! I'm gonna try not to have a #CrisisOfConfidence like the character does, even if we do have the same name.
