What does make me insecure is when i later re-read my own stuff and i think: could i have done that differently? Would that have been better?

I don't necessarily feel insecure, but I definitely am my own worst critic. In my other writing, I edit and edit and edit again. In my SimLit, I'm often so excited about what's happened that I don't give it as much editing time as I should. However, I'm try to reread myself and shut off my internal editor and just enjoy the story like I would enjoy someone else's stories. I also try and see where I went wrong and use that as a source of inspiration for what I can do differently in the future instead of editing what I've already done. But I'm guilty of editing even after publishing.

I really want to start a story, but I am worried that no one will like it because I will be writing in third person. (I am used to writing in first person) I don't know what to do :/

I have always written in third person so writing in first person was a first for me in SimLit, but I wanted to stretch myself. I debated about giving Kass a third person perspective in Part 2, but decided against it. I would give it a try. Explore the possibilities and challenge yourself.
