How do you work through self-doubts and fear?

I constantly compare myself to other writers.

Why do you write?
It’s a form of therapy for me.  I get to tell all the crazy stuff that’s in my head and leave it on the page. I find that once I write about something that’s bothering me, it no longer upsets me.

I completed my first novel and wrote a screenplay.
