The Life of An Inexperienced Writer

does the anxiety of "I won't ever be a good writer" go away?

It hasn't for me. And it hasn't for many well-established and successful authors.

Just don't allow it to prevent you writing. The best thing you can do is continue writing. Just get something down. The more you write, the "better" you will inevitably get - so that voice gets somewhat drowned out by improvement.

Another good thing, is write down every positive comment or word of praise you have received for your writing (or even just in life itself). Every word of encouragement. Write it down, save it, or whatever. Put them all in the one place - turn to that when that voice gets a little louder and you need an instant way of making it quieter.
