Insecure Writer's Support Group

Hi everyone,
As you may know, every first Wednesday of the month, we write about our insecurities and answer a question from Alex. J. Cavanaugh  and his blogging partners. Be sure to stop by AlexJCavanaugh.com and see what everyone has to say this month.

The question this month is: What's the weirdest/coolest thing you ever had to research?

Here's my answer to the question:

When I was a student with the Institute of Children's Literature, I chose to write about George Washington. It was fun to learn little trivia that most people may not know. For example, did you know George always had trouble with spelling? He couldn't remember if cough should be cough or coff. Also, he loved good manners and he wrote several books on the subject. I had fun studying about the things George liked and disliked.
This month my insecurities have to do with editing. I've spent a lot of time editing my new book and still, I don't feel confident about it. Thankfully, my publisher, Gina McKnight of Monday Creek Publishing, was helpful.  I think no matter how much time you spend on writing, there is always more to learn.I remember thinking the same about horseback riding :)
What are your insecurities this month?

Insecure Writers Support Group




Welcome to this month's Insecure Writer's Support Group.

Purpose: To encourage writers who are struggling with various aspects of writing.

What am I insecure about this month? Trying to revise one of my books. You know how it is when you try different things. You think, okay this is coming along well. I think all the weak areas are fixed. Then the next day you wonder what made you think that? You keep finding more issues you didn' t notice before, yikes.

This month's question: Have you ever taken out a really old story and tried revising it? Did it work out?

I haven't done that yet. Too busy working on the not-so-old ones. :)

Hope you have a great month, with only small worries.
