Every author worth their salt wanders through the realm of schizoid delusions from time to time, it’s one of the necessary steps to reach a final product.
First you outline.
Next you start on a rough draft.
Then we read our rough draft and go on a vision quest rivaling a sizable dose of LSD as we debate if we’re really authors at all. This inevitably leads to oscillating between convincing ourselves we’re the next Hemingway and feeling like we’d fail a 7th grade creative writing class.
I’m not sure that user has the shame necessary to make an alt account, I just read the comment the person below you copied from the profile and it’s… something else :/

Then we edit.
Then we publish and the cycle repeats.
