I'm not sure if confidence is even helpful as a writer - but I wonder if I couldn't use just a little more than I have now...in other words, to climb out of the negatives might be a positive change. Everything I write is bad by default. Keep that in mind, it's the best self defense mechanism I have. I'm a student and employee at Valencia Community College in Orlando Florida. Here's what that means: I am poor, confused, and hungry. I have a pretty cool haircut, though.
