I'm often plagued by self-doubt even when I am working. *g*
I'll let you in on a secret: all writers go through that. *g* Back in the precambrian era, when I was but a wee baby writer, I used to have this notion that published authors were perfect. They didn't spend hours agonizing over a single sentence, or feel like reaching through the page to throttle their characters. That was just me because I was new and didn't know what I was doing.
Ha.
We all feel that way, even people with 40+ books to their credit. It is the nature of the beast. For me, the writing process follows these stages:
Excitement
Productivity
Doubt
Panic
Anger
Grim determination
Exhaustion
I hope the story being considered for that anthology is accepted. :-)

Thanks, and me, too. :)
