Burning your literature... Many many times I have spent time writing things and then burnt it, usually if I'm ashamed of it, but also because I see a kind of beauty in embracing the inevitable decomposition of everything. By doing this you are also accepting that the reason you write is purely self-indulgent.
I read a story recently about Buddhists who spend hours making murals out of sand only for the wind to eventually blow them away. Its kind of like sandcastles and ice sculptures too...

I wrote something pretty lengthy a while back and eventually deleted it because I was never comfortable with the plot. I'm a bit of a perfectionist, which is a big part of my problem. I usually rely on the feedback of others to determine whether something is genuinely ready.

I have thought a few times to write letters to certain people saying what I have to say but can't to them directly and then burning it, in hopes that while it burns so does my anger, and I can finally let go. But like everything else I just put it off.

I wrote an entire novel (200 pages) and then deleted it because I felt that the plot made no sense and that it overall just sucked.
