I recently came across something similar, two questions (is this good? does this suck?) from comic book writer Lynda Barry.
“‘The Two Questions’ came from trying to write something good and not getting very far because I had forgotten that trying to write something good before I write anything at all is like refusing to give birth unless you know for sure it is going to be a very good baby.”
Grreat advice! Ooops - I made a mistake. Oooh no! Why did I submit that?! What can I do? Why didn't I check my comment over 5 more times?? Or maybe 10. Reword that 2-word sentence better! Maybe re-take typing lessons so I don't make those keyboard errors! Aaargh!! ;-)
Great read, Susan.

Ahhh-yes! That’s a familiar conundrum- part of the same family. Cousins, I think. 🙂
Thanks for the link. I love how Lynda Barry gets right inside it with her drawings.
