Becoming a better writer, like becoming a better person, is about facing the consequences.

That rings true for me. And I suspect that there are a number of consequences I am balking at facing. Which is why I feel so stuck right now.

...something else:

In the past year, I found myself feeling stuck in work I was doing. When I voiced this feeling to people - my friends/family, my therapist - they disagreed and pointed out all the progress I was making and all the things I'd done. And I had to admit they were correct that I had done these things, and these things were meaningful, but I still felt stuck.

And, as it turned out, I was right. I *was* stuck. And I found some ways past it and I (eventually - it took so /long/!) figured out the next piece of what I needed to be doing, and now I feel less stuck and like I have some keys to get where I need to go, even if I'm not quite sure where that is.

So when you say you feel stuck, that's what I think about. And I hope that you find what you need to find, too, and that you hold onto the ability to believe yourself when you identify your feelings, whatever anyone else says.

(I'm kind of projecting, here, of course - I do know that. But that's what experience is for, I suppose. Take what sounds right and toss the rest.)
