Insecure Writer's Support Group

The brainchild of Alex Cavanaugh, the 
purpose of the Insecure Writer's Support Group is to share and encourage. Writers can express doubts and concerns without fear of appearing foolish or weak. Those who have been through the fire can offer assistance and guidance. It’s a safe haven for insecure writers of all kinds!

Posting is the first Wednesday of every month.

You can sign up HERE.

This is my second time to participate. I would have been here last month, but health issues got in the way.

I bet a lot of people are doing NaNo this month which means there may not be as many visitors to our blogs as usual. So let's not get insecure about that!

I'll tell you what I'm insecure about. I'm right on the edge... I mean I'm like THIS CLOSE to self-publishing my book ANANSI AND COMPANY.

I've had wonderful help getting him ready from many different people.

Anne Gallagher has answered every question I could think of and then some.

Adrienne Saldivar did the incredible cover and stunning illustrations.

Nicole Zoltack  helped with line editing.

L. Diane Wolfe helped with formatting.

And these four FABULOUS PEOPLE have given me the most wonderful endorsements anyone could ask for:

C. Lee McKenzie, Joy Campbell, Angela Ackerman and Robyn Campbell.

Everyone has told me the stories are great. They've been nothing but encouraging.

So... how could I possibly still feel insecure? Take it from me, a perennial introvert, I do. I have sometimes felt so insecure, so afraid, that I've thought about chucking the whole project.

But I've plowed/am plowing through the insecurities because on a blog somewhere I read, "You doubt because you care." And because Hillel the Elder said, "If not now, when?"

Soon, my faithful Random Followers, Anansi will make his debut to the world.
