Thought Piece-Goodwin

I think that sometimes turning off or ignoring your inner critic can be really hard. It can also be really annoying to be stuck in the middle of writing something because your inner critic is sitting on your shoulder ripping it apart. If you do manage to get your inner critic to shut up then I think you can write much better. I think that all the famous writer that Goodwin mentioned probably also suffered from having an inner critic. If any of them had given up because they listened to their inner critic then we wouldn't have any of the plays and stories that we read today. Who knows what will happen if you ignore your inner critic. You might write the worst book ever or you could end up being the next Shakespeare or Mark Twain. All it takes is ignoring your inner critic and writing that first sentence.

  1. What you wrote here made me smile, Kaitlin. You make a really good point when you wonder what the world would be missing if those famous authors would've listened to their inner critic. Yikes!

    Y'all in this class are going to write the future you know; I'm excited to be a small part of that.
