December 1 question ��� In your writing, what stresses you the most? What delights you?
I would say editing, not because I dislike it but because after thirty passes through a manuscript, I still don���t feel I have it right. I can see mistakes easier in other writers��� work than my own, so I know I���m missing stuff.
When a story is just flowing and everything falling into plac...

December 1 question – In your writing, what stresses you the most? What delights you?
I would say editing, not because I dislike it but because after thirty passes through a manuscript, I still don’t feel I have it right. I can see mistakes easier in other writers’ work than my own, so I know I’m missing stuff.

The Insecure Writer's Support Group
It’s time for another edition of The Insecure Writer’s Support Group, founded by Ninja Captain, Alex J. Cavanaugh.
November 3 question - What's harder to do, coming up with your book title or writing the blurb?

Insecure Writer���s Support Group & Back to School Special
It���s time for another edition of The Insecure Writer���s Support Group, founded by Ninja Captain, Alex J. Cavanaugh.
September 1 question - How do you define success as a writer? Is it holding your book in your hand? Having a short story published? Making a certain amount of income from your writing?
Certainly, selling a million copies would be considered successful. For the average traditionally published author, that���s a million dollars. Not bad!
However, since I personally will never be i...
