Thank you and apologies for not replying sooner. I was away with my day job.
I'm grateful for your advice and am regaining confidence. The story of the stone mason helped see failure in a different light as did Test Pilot's advice about changing the way I see value. I will still want to win but perhaps I am not giving enough value to completing well-polished pieces of work.
The advice about reading about a writer or athlete also helped. I have Alastair Campbell's Winners and have been dipping back into that. I've also started a new writing project.
