Mediocrity
There's the writer's block. Then, there's the fear of being mediocre. There is always someone better than you in your craft, they say and yes it is true.
While you write pages under an adrenaline rush without a care, there are times when you dwell on the writer's mediocrity. This feeling of being an average writer with a cookie cutter story surfaces when the comments and reads from readers diminish. I'm sure this is faced equally in all forms of public platforms, from YouTube bloggers who worry at dwindling viewers to tweeters scrutinising the low retweets.
However, unlike these Twitter or Instagram likes, content producers judge themselves harshly. Being pretty is sufficient for other platform as appearance rakes in popularity but for content producers like videos and especially authors on wattpad, the decrease in the audience numbers constantly haunts their minds. Am I doing something wrong? Am I writing like the rest? I thought my book cover looked attractive. Why isn't my story special anymore we ponder with worry. The lack of vocabulary can be seen outright and I ask if I am writing this chapter just like the rest.
I want to tell myself that I do have talent, that I do something that not many can. I weave words to life and yes, I'm good AF in it. I want to say out loud that I have one of the best wattpad covers among Tamil books. My covers convey purpose and beauty.
Damn the inferiority complex. I write great stories!
[I think in English and speak more in English than Tamil, therefore the above write-up.]
