Loss of Inspiration, Lack of Motivation, and Lugubrious Trepidation

So, here's Failwhale again, adding Kitsunade1 to my list of names(I seem to have forgotten it last time.). This time, I want to talk about some other stuff.
First, you all should read my blog posts. Or skim them. Or glance at them. I might talk about some semi important stuff in them, so I encourage you all to read them.
Okay, moving on to loss of inspiration. I seem to have gotten a severe increase of inspiration for drawings. This, somehow and unfortunately, drains off the inspiration for my stories. This really sucks, by the way. I rack my brain for ideas, but it doesn't give me any that I can write about. It gives me plenty to DRAW about, but that doesn't really help. Now, this really only applies for WIHLAR.
Next, lack of motivation. Now, this applies to both WIHLAR and TUS, but it mostly applies to TUS. See, I already have a complete first draft of TUS written out on my computer, but the trouble is, I seem to be lacking the motivation to actually edit those drafts (in this case, edit means rewrite, delete, add, and make it more fluid.). Thus, the lack of updates on TUS for a while. For WIHLAR, it's mostly a dried up fountain of ideas, but it's also lack of motivation.
And, last but definitely not least, lugubrious trepidation. Basically, I have a severe fear of not being good enough in any way, shape, or form. This is another thing that prevents me from editing the stories: I'm entirely convinced that they aren't good enough. This is why I ask you to try and give me as much response as possible, be it positive, constructive, or even negative, but if you feel the need to negatively respond to me, I really want you to tell me what's wrong so that I can fix it. When you all respond, it gives me something to build off of, lets me know what I'm doing wrong and what I'm doing right.
So, if you read this through completely, thanks you. If you skimmed it, thank you. If you glanced at it, thank you. If you didn't look at it, you wouldn't even know what I am currently saying, so I have no idea why I'm acknowledging you.
Later, everypony.

I feel for ya, buddy.
Honestly, I have the same problems, though I haven't actually written anything yet but I would get these incredible ideas but I never get around to actually put them down on paper (or word document for that matter). I can do it, I'm a good writer and I know it because numerous people have told me so, but there's always that "but" that stops me, "but your organization needs some work, Vic." That fear of not being good enough is something that I've been fighting myself for some time and is why I haven't written anything.

I can relate to what you're feeling (even the art part, I draw a bit, too) and I wholly support you, keep up the great work, good luck, and have fun.
And for what it's worth, I read the whole blog post
