Writer's circle

My internal struggle:

Me: You should write some scifi or fantasy.  You read lots of that
Other Me: No way, dude.  I couldn't write that stuff
Me: Why not?
Other Me: My writing sucks
Me: Nuh uh
Other Me: Of course I don't think it sucks.  Don't you remember creative writing?  THAT'S HOW YOU KNOW IT SUCKS
Me: Okay, it sucks.  You should write it anyways.
Other Me: But scifi and fantasy already has so much really awful shit.
Me: So how much worse can yours be?
Other Me: ....goddamit.

Friend: Your writing is often stuck in my head. Keep writing. Write a goddamn scifi novel. Write something, anything. Just. Write.
