Best way to stop giving a fuck?

Questions/Help?

Feeling brave enough to post this.

Honestly, I'm tired. Dare I say I want to quit writing altogether times. I *have* the motivation to write, and I *want* to write. But every single time, something just...hits me. And makes me doubt everything.

"Wait, *should* I write this?"

"Does my writing sound similar to these AI-generated fics? What should I change?"

"Should I make my paragraphs longer or shorter? Should I follow this person's advice, or..."

I'm sick of it. I want to find a way to stop feeling like this altogether. How do *you* do it?
