I go through that every month or so. You've seen me have my little meltdowns in which I'm sure everything I touch sucks like a big sucking thing. So I can say this: the feeling will pass. And when it does, you might even get lucky and have a little writing burst.

As for the pity reading, I think you've heard me trash enough fic to know that I don't read for pity. So if I thought your fic sucked I'd skip it altogether.
