Ugh. One of those horrible feeling that will plague me from time to time. I know how you feel.
Admittedly, I've never read anything of yours, but most good writers tend to view what they write as crap just like almost everyone with artistic tallent tends to deem what is obviously great the work of a person with the skills of a first grader. Plus, from the other resposes to this I've read, you're pretty good. So, don't doubt your abilities too much. That's what I try to do.
May I ask what it is that is making you feel so awful?

o.o Oh my gosh. I know this wasn't posted for me, but I briefly pondered over some kind of form that Wild Horses could use, and then I seen this. You weren't kidding when you said it was long. xD. However, I might use some of it just because it seems kinda fun. It would help pass the time if I'm for some reason wasting my time not writing. xD.

EDIT: Holy crap, why do I start the first page? o.o xD.

No problem. Anyone can use it.
It is pretty long. I got tired of filling it out on history which was like the fifth thing.

I don't have the link, but it's on the first page of this thread and is the fifth post. You'll see the link there and you can click it. Once you click it you can scroll down the page and I believe it is the last contest listed on the first post of that thread. I hope that helped. =)

xD. Yeah, I uually hate writing histories. They're so long and you never want to leave anything out. I personally like filling out the personalities. For some reason, the length I can get on those doesn't bother me like the histories do.

This generation has lost it's creativity. (No offense intended to any of you.) I mean in a whole.
I'm ashamed to be part of it really. Everything is so cliche and used up. Romance has gone too far, and high fantasy is dead.
I have to say I'm apalled.

Nu-uh. There's still creativity! There has to be.
My mum said yesterday: Why bother writing a novel? Anything worth writing down has already been done.
To somebody who secretly wishes to be a writer, It crushed me.
