I want to say a Big thank you to Alex and the IWSG team, who
have been so wonderful this year and who have worked so hard. It has been
really great being able to connect with other writers and share my insecurities
and read/comment on theirs as well. The experience has really been life
altering and a comfort. Thank you.
The Insecure
Writers Support Group was created by the wonderfully talented Mr Alex J.
Cavanaugh, so that writers could communicate to others the fears and
insecurities that they might have. You can visit Alex Here, or if you want to join us in discussing
our insecurities on the first Wednesday of each month, you are welcome to join
by going Here.
You've done lots of good things, Murees. You shouldn't feel insecure. You should be proud that you're working hard to improve your skills. D
ReplyDeleteThat's why this group was started! For all of us to connect and know we aren't alone.
ReplyDeleteIt is an awesome group. I'm so happy I joined. I agree with Deanie, be proud that you're always improving, because you are - we all are whether we realize it or not. Hugs back at you. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Murees - it sounds like you have the right attitude to writing - enjoying the process and we're lucky that we can connect with so many great blogging friends who help so much along the way.
ReplyDeleteCheers Hilary
There's always a certain amount of insecurity connected with writing. It makes you work harder to combat the issues - everyone can make improvements to their work!
ReplyDeleteKeep writing and it will all be good. No worries.
ReplyDeleteDeanie - Thank you. Your words are really kind.
ReplyDeleteAlex - Thank you for all you do. It is appreciated.
Kimberly - Thanks for the hugs! I am happy I joined the group too. I have met so many wonderful people.
Hilary - Thank you. I don't know what I would do without the blogging community. The people are really wonderful.
Annalisa - Thank you for the wise and inspiring words. I guess the insecurity just comes with the writing, like a side effect. I like that you said that anyone can make improvements to their work. It makes me feel hopeful.
Ryshia - Thank you. You are really kind.
Timing is everything, isn't it? You wrote this blog post. Today this appeared on another publishing blog. "We Have to Believe."

For me, the insecurity never really goes away.
ReplyDeleteIt's always there, just bubbling away beneath the surface... bubble... bubble... bubble...
We need to learn how to manage it. I think it takes time and patience. I'm trying.
Keep on writing. That's the main thing.

ReplyDeleteJohn - Thank you for the link. The post was great and inspiring.
ReplyDeleteMichelle - Thank you. I agree, it is always bubbling. I need to find the off switch.
