Hey all! How's it going this month?

Insecure -  not confident or assured; uncertain and anxious
Synonyms of insecure: unconfident, uncertain, unsure, doubtful, hesitant, self-conscious, unassertive, diffident, unforthcoming, shy, timid, retiring, timorous, inhibited, introverted; anxious, fearful, worried.


All these emotions! You have nay of them? All of them? Only a few?

Meh.

I try not to think about it. I don't like being insecure. I'd rather be confident and secure. Most days, I do. But some days, those insecurities creep up and I fail miserably.

Will I EVER get published?
Will anyone EVER like my writing? My books?
Will I ever?????

Meh.

If not, will my life be over? Have I failed in life? Will my friends abandon me?

NO!!!

So why fret? Why worry?

Ok. I won't!

Happy Wednesday, beautiful guys and dolls!!!

I mean that’s what all authors want, isn’t? To have a published book by anyone who is willing to print it? That’s a huge NO. My perspective on this has changed in a drastic, career changing way.

My most recent girl agent crush has recently tweeted an extensive amount of writer tips, which I took to heart. She mentioned that self publishing works for some and may be a good thing for them.
