It doesn't do very much? Well, it makes it really easy to fall down the black hole of "well, your writing isn't good enough for people anyway, which means it's not good at all, and you just shouldn't do it". In terms of helping, it's -- less whether it's good enough and more whether I'm allowed to waste my time on it at all, whether I show anyone or not.

So. Yeah. Brains. They are dumb. Thanks, though. <333 (And hey, sucking is how you eventually pave the way to not sucking, right? *cheers for you*)
