I write worst (or just don't write) when I feel that pressure. I'm really focussing on writing for myself... I'm not trying to make a career out of it, so that might skew my feelings about it. But I have to write, for myself, for my well being... and maybe someday I'll get published and that will be fantastic. But if I write with that goal in mind, well that's too much pressure and for me, it's in complete contrast to why I write in the first place - it creates stress rather than relieves it. It's sort of a catch 22 for me... I felt amazing when I had a poem published... but then I felt intense pressure to have my work at that calibur all the time. So I stopped writing. Now I'm trying to start again and struggling with all that. I guess this is just ever present for me. Thanks for the link the Natalie's blog... amazing stuff...
