I don’t know if it’s just me because I’m salty but, Do y’all ever read like a REALLY good well directed story on episode. And then you get put off of writing your own because you get jealous of how well directed it is and there’s no way you could reach that level of story telling. Please don’t tell me I’m the only one…

Same. I’ve literally been contemplating writing a story but when I go and read an Episode story I decide to delete all my progress.

Yes. Yes. Yes. I finish writing a episode and think this is good. Then I’ll read a story with loads of fancy animated overlays, developed characters, great spotting, good dialogue and think what’s the point of its never gonna be as good as that? I eventually just hit publish and think eh.

I hate comparing what I make to other’s because it makes me feel like trash. Even with my art and my appearance.

Yes! At first I’m like “Yeah my story is totally ready to put out!” but then I’ll go read something better directed on episode and them I’m like “My story is trash! This won’t snatch any wigs”.

But it is helpful, because you find new ways to make your story better

We should not compare ourselves to others, we should only build each other up.

It’s not the end story that counts it’s that you enjoyed writing it.

Screw it, I want my story to be the best.

Exactly seeing well directed stories on episode inspire me to make my story better which is good, such as Kayla Sloan’s her stories are well directed and the main reason I want to write a story is because of her.

I agree, I often feel the same way too. It’s not a healthy mentality, but I can’t help thinking that way. :woman_shrugging:

I can relate to this tooo much! At first I feel so confident and have a healthy mindset on what I’m doing but then I go on other stories that are WAY better than what I’ve already done. I never delete my progress but always doubt it which leads me to revamp the whole damn thing, I got so miserable and had a very unhealthy mindset that I just had to discontinue my story. (Thank god I’m making a new one but I’m on the third episode and Im already doubting everything!). The LL is becoming more of a MC than the actual MC ffs! But hey, this is your story, do whatever feels best! I just wished I didn’t feel like thisss!!
