Insecure Writers Support Group – March 2012
I am part of this online support group for insecure writers. We post on the first Wednesday of each month.
Here are my insecurities.
1. I’ll never finish my book.
2. If I DO finish my book, it can’t compare to the authors I admire.
3. There are a ton of writers and books out there, why write another one?
My answers.
1. Maybe not, but it’s fun (?) trying.
2. Writing a book shouldn’t be to compare myself to others, but to tell the story I have inside.
3. Why not?
Being part of a writers’ critique/support book helps me through most of these issues and my online community helps me with the rest.
That's what I told myself when I decided to pursue publication – why not?
Love this!
I also relate : )
I love the "why not?" I do that all the time. And I love how you answered your own insecurities. 🙂
Simple and well put…Why not?
Sheila, I like your answers a lot. 🙂
Exactly. Why not? If you never try, you'll never know and you will be left wondering if it ever would have happened.
Try your best, in all that you do. Everything else will fall into place.
