So the main reason I have trouble writing these days, is because whenever I write, I have this terrible terrible knowledge sloshing around the back of my head that my writing is too... young. It sounds like I'm telling little Sally a story about a prince that forgot his magic jube-jubes at home.
While some of you might be saying "Well go write children's books then! Mercy sakes!" But I don't want to write children's books and I've always felt like children's books don't have to sound young in order to be aimed at children- so even if I were to write stories for children, I'd be faced with the same issue.
I used to get by just telling myself it was all in my head and that it sounded perfectly fine, but that's not working so good anymore. This kind of thinking leads me to thinking it's the story's fault or just plan makes me bitter towards my story and I move onto a different story/idea. In the past I'd try to stick with just one novel (I still never finished anything, but at least I got a ways into the novel before I'd quit), but now I have two (and a possible 'nother one on the starts) going. And I hate them all.
Additional tricks I've tried that don't seem to solve my problem:
Spoiler! :
Is it just a mindset thing or...? Any tips?
EDIT: This also causes me to get very anxious while I write.
