Does anyone else get to that point in writing where you panic that it’s terrible and want to hurl it at someone else for assurance it’s not trash but you fight the impulse because you’re terrified they will confirm it actually IS trash?

I had a nightmare recently that after sending a requested full, the agent contacted me the next day for The Call. Except, when I got on the call, they just berated my writing and said I suck 😭😭😭 #amquerying #WritingCommunity #amwriting

Needless to say, I am haunted but at least that would never happen because an agent would never schedule a call just to be mean 😭 But I still keep thinking about it
