Feeling Angsty? Anxious? Inadequate?

Well do WE (and by we, I mean Alex Cavanaugh's friends and fans) have a PLAN *buwahahahahahahahahaha* for you!

Because the thing IS, all writers feel insecure now and again. It is just part of the process. A writer that stays confident never learns to evaluate their work in a way that keeps improving it... but we ALSO, in getting insecure and critical GO OVERBOARD... We end up, in balancing our rushes where we feel the muse of power, diving into the depths of doubt.

And so Alex had this great idea that maybe we could all use a little bolstering... and who better to bolster us than each other? We all have stories of doubt... triumphs overcoming our doubts... we can teach each other—encourage each other...

So if yibus want to get in on this mutual encouragement for writerly insecurity thing, you really should go check out what Alex has to say on the matter. Then join us the first Wednesday of every month for some Insecurity Fighting Mojo!


So no need to hide! Unless we find a really big hiding spot and all hide together!!!

Okay, so maybe not like this exactly...

It seems to me that writers aren't the only thing getting shaky these days... Earthquakes in Colorado and Virginia, WHAT? But we are not helpless here, either. There is a dance to calm everything. What you do is collect a group of your favorite people, everybody gets naked and you DANCE in the moonlight.

(seriously... what did you THINK I was going to recommend?)

I hope you all have a very Happy Naked Thursday!


[on a sidenote: work is swamped again for a little while. This cuts into my blog cruising. I will try to make up for it some with my Fridays off, but I apologize if I do less cruising.]
