Great post! I am all for writing badly! Too often we get hung up on judging ourselves and our work before we begin. I agree with you, that worrying about what we should be, instead of what we want to be, about what we should be writing, what everyone else is writing, instead of enjoying our own work, is the cause of so much anxiety and pain for writers. It takes the joy away from us. It should not be about conquering the writing world, but about finding the right path for us. We all have a voice that deserves to be heard.
