The Root of the Problem

Well, I am starting to dig more deeply into the root of my problem here. Aside from those lingering self-doubts that many of us get (Am I good enough? My writing isn't as good as others..etc., etc.,)I think it has a lot to do with being overly critical. I mean critical on a personal level and also in general.

As far as writing in certain fandoms (like Stargate for example), it is difficult to write in it when everywhere I go, I get hit with negativity. The show is old now and in its twilight years--it's true that its not what it used to be. But it's still fairing better than X-Files in its twilight years. But when a show's direction changes and we're so used to getting something else, it's hard not to be critical.

There is a lot to be critical about. But there is a difference between constructive criticism and negativity. And I think getting caught up in heavy negativity can really bring a person down, and lessen the enjoyment of a show, or movie, or book, what have you.

This is supposed to be fun. It's a show. Or its a movie. Whatever you find interesting. I would rather embrace all the positive aspects and focus on that. I think it's more fun that way.

That being said, still haven't written anything :) But here are my thoughts on the episode named "Affinity."
