Hey guys!
So I have found a bit of a problem and I'm not sure if it's a problem with my own ideas or if it's a self-esteem thing or something else, so I'd just like to know if this happens to others and what do you do when it does? :3
I have an idea that has been in my head for a long time now, and I'd like to do some world building, but I live together with my girlfriend and sometimes I have another friend stay at our place for days at a time. Whenever I sit close to each of them, especially my partner, I feel like whatever I'm about to write is just bad. Not just bad, but stupid and childish. I always have problems with that in general, but not in the sketching out part, but when I write actual paragraphs/pages and I read them back before editing (which I think is pretty common and natural). And I love this idea, but even now when I look at my mindmaps and timelines, while someone else is sitting next to me, I feel like I'm being choked on it.
Not sure how else to describe it, but that's what's up with me. Any thoughts/experiences/tips? :3
