I'm often plagued by self-doubt even when I am working. *g*

I'll let you in on a secret: all writers go through that. *g* Back in the precambrian era, when I was but a wee baby writer, I used to have this notion that published authors were perfect. They didn't spend hours agonizing over a single sentence, or feel like reaching through the page to throttle their characters. That was just me because I was new and didn't know what I was doing.

Ha.

We all feel that way, even people with 40+ books to their credit. It is the nature of the beast. For me, the writing process follows these stages:

  • Excitement
  • Productivity
  • Doubt
  • Panic
  • Anger
  • Grim determination
  • Exhaustion


  • I hope the story being considered for that anthology is accepted. :-)

    Thanks, and me, too. :)
