It's time for The Insecure Writer's Support Group. If anyone reading this doesn't know what that is, it's a wonderful group started by the marvelous Alex J. Cavanaugh. We post on the first Wednesday of the month, then hop around and support each other. If you are not already a member, I highly recommend you go here and join.My writing is in pretty much the same spot as it was last month. I am working on editing the YA and writing the MG. So, today I've decided not to post about an insecurity.
Trust me, I have them. I have a lot, and they are crawling all over pretty much every aspect of my life, not just my writing. But I've been in a pretty good mood lately and I don't want to focus on the negative.
I want to get published some day. I want it like crazy, and I will continue to work hard at getting there. But if it never happens for me, that's okay, too. My life is pretty darn good, even if I don't have my own book on my bookshelf.
I enjoy writing and I will probably keep doing it forever, even if I am the only one to read it. Well, me and my family, who is stuck reading it whether they like it or not. :)
So that's it for today. Don't forget that WiP: The Movie is this Friday. Go sign up, it's going to be fun! :)
Isn't happiness great? I feel happy just reading your post!
