I’m not as insecure this month as I usually am. Maybe it’s because I’m getting off a high of finishing my first round of rewrites, which I thought I would never get through or finally achieving my first publishing credit, by having my short entry accepted and included into the IWSG Guide to Publishing and Beyond. Once again, a huge thank you to the IWSG Team for all their hard work and making the e-book possible. I’m among great company and feel so honored.
The Insecure Writers Support Group was created by the talented Mr. Alex J. Cavanaugh, so that writers can share their insecurities and/or encourage others who need support with their own. 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.
Congrats on getting published! I'm sure many will get this awesome (and FREE!!) book and appreciate your piece as well as the others in it. Thanks go to you and everyone involved for all the hard work and supporting the writing community! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm really excited!
DeleteCongrats on being included in the book. I'm getting mine in a minute :-) It's really great to hear you sounding so happy and positive :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you! It feels so great to laugh and smile and finally have something to be excited about.
Deleteyay, love positivity! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you. Its one of my very rare moments.
DeleteCongratulations, Murees :)! What a lovely, positive post! You're making me feel a lot better about my own rewrites :). Hope you have a positive start to 2015 as well - here's to a positive New Year!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! Good-luck with your rewrites. I wish you a fantastic 2015 as well.
DeleteCongrats on your publishing cred! I just got one too, yesterday in fact. A short story I wrote was accepted for publication. It feels good! =)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you as well! That is amazing. It really is a fantastic feeling. Thank you so much for stopping by.
DeleteYou are very kind. Husband is now having problems with his pacemaker, so hoping for not too many visits to the hospital before Christmas...
ReplyDeleteOh No! I hope he doesn't have any more problems either. Both of you need a break and for good things to come your way. I'm sending you tons of virtual hugs.
DeleteYay for your first publishing credit! And that's awesome you finished your rewrites. :D
ReplyDeleteThank you! I feel so happy today.
DeleteThat is awesome. I got my copy this morning, van't wait to read it tonight!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I hope you enjoy the book.
DeleteYay!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Being published is a wonderful feeling...
Your excitement shines through and I'm so happy for you!
Happy IWSG day.
Thank you! You and the entire Insecure Writer's Support Group Team made it possible and I'm so grateful to all of you. Thank you!
DeleteOh yay, congratulations on being published! I just bought this guide today so look forward to reading your info!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I hope you enjoy it.
DeleteCongrats on the rewrites and publication. I feel the same way "honored to be among them" included. It is my first publication too.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Congratulations to you as well!
DeleteYour entry was great!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm sorry I don't get by here as often as I should. I just corrected that in my Feedly reader.
Thank you! I know you are very busy, but I feel so grateful whenever you do pop in.
DeleteI started the day not feeling insecure, then had a (now former) client say my writing was "awful," so not such a good end to the day! She doesn't even speak English, so I'm trying to take it that she has no idea what good writing is in our language!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry! Usually that means the client simply doesn't want to pay for work already completed. I used to work as a copywriter and had the exact same problem. It's not your fault. There are always people who want to take advantage. Don't dare feel bad. Sending you plenty of virtual hugs.
DeleteYou get it! Yeah, this was a new client on Elance and I had red flags from the beginning. She's now asking for her money back and I'm saying no since I did her revisions and I suspect she's scamming...so hopefully she'll leave it at that.
DeleteCongratulations Murees! That's a great boost to your confidence. You're off to a good start. Think of all the things you've done that you didn't think were possible! Good job! Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Your words are very kind.
DeleteSounds like you have a lot of great things going on! Congratulations on your first publishing credit!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! It's such a great feeling.
DeleteCongratulations! I still have my first story published and it was a little drabble (100 words) about aliens. Hehehe!
ReplyDeleteThank you. It's great that you still have your first published story. I rather like aliens.
DeleteYAY!!! Murees, you're published!! I just downloaded my copy today! So glad there's no insecurities this month!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I hope you enjoy it.
DeleteI'm glad to see you happy and optimistic.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
