Agreed this was painful to be sure. My heart went out to you. Only thing I,d say is your post was mis titled…that,s right,mis titled.
My friend your encounter with writers doldrums was nothing more than a ‘finger’ glitch’, nothing more. Please be at peace and be surprised how often times your trwrite is superior to the original ‘perfection’,…
I too have over the years lost patches of stuff I felt was worthy of Hemingway in various writers aps. No, what was my worst was realizing after almost sixty years of writing realizing just how shitty a writer I am.
Carry on friend.
