When you read over your work, either during editing or rewriting. How do you not hate what you write? When I edit what I wrote, I tend to hate what I wrote. Which results in me losing lots of motivation to write some more. How do I learn to love my own work?
It’s just the matter of your skill level and self-esteem. Think about it: you wanna draw something, something beautifull. You have a clear image in your mind or even a physical reference. But, when you finish drawing, you become so disappointed that it doesn’t look like what you’ve imagined or referenced at all. So you hate it.
Though, on the other hand: if you have a high self-esteem, you might realize that your skill is not there yet, but you know that if you keep going, you’ll improve eventually. It’s just one way ticket to greatness with thorns and inferno along the way. But you won’t hate yourself or your work for it.
So, I think you just feel let down that your story is not as good as you‘ve imagined it would. Your skill is not quite there, yet. That’s why you hated it.
Or maybe it’s because you’re subconsciously comparing your work to the other great works. The works that comes from writers who’ve been practicing their crafts for years.
So, it’s not a big deal if you don’t like what you’ve written. It’s normal if you wanna compare your work to the other good works. You just have to recognize that it’s just part of the process.
Every single skills are learned with failures upon failures until you eventually come to a point with little to no failure at all. So, if you hate your work right now, it’s fine. You know what to do: just keep going, soldier!
