Did you ever doubt yourself?
This may not be the right place to pose this issue, but I would be much obliged to anyone with advice...
I have been passionate about writing my entire life and discovered an interest in copywriting during college. I'll be graduating in a few months, and 3 weeks ago I began working as a copywriting intern for a local ad agency.
Since my first few copywriting assignments, I've become very depressed and insecure with both my writing and my creativity (something that's never happened before - at least to this degree).
I have always been a very slow, meticulous writer who requires complete solitude (no distractions, etc) to produce quality work. Unfortunately, the agency where I work gets very noisy, and the short deadlines (i.e. a couple hours) compound to the pressure. As a result, my work has been suffering. When my work suffers, my confidence suffers, and when my confidence suffers, my work suffers. It's a vicious cycle!
However, I understand that in advertising, you are often given short deadlines in chaotic environments...I want to learn to adapt to these situations, but right now I'm really struggling.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? I've never second guessed my writing before, and it really sucks...
Thanks.
