Insecure Writer's Support Group

Happy 2 year Anniversary to the Insecure Writer's Support Group!



                                         


This is my first time posting with the IWSG, and I'm thrilled to be part of this marvelous group of author's. 
And a big thank you to Alex J. Cavanaugh for starting the IWSG! Press on Alex's name to learn more and, how to join in with a wonderful group of writer's. This September, Alex's co-hosts are:

It's been an awesome week for me. Mainly because my debut novel, Wickedly They Come has come out of hiding. With that said, why am I a neurotic-nilly?!



Now it's out there for people to read and judge and review, I can't sleep. Just rereading the first chapter--I cringe. And say to myself, "Did I write that? I could've written it differently." or "I should've made it better."



I wonder if all writer's second guess themselves even after their books are made public? I lack confidence and need to grow thicker armor and learn to roll with the punches.



Also, I'm not a good self-promoter! Social Media seems to take up most of my day lately, leaving little time for writing. After arranging for a book signing at a city bookstore, my legs won't stop jangling. I'm afraid of fainting,(which has happened in the past) or will my tongue stick like glue to the roof of my mouth? Wish me luck!



Thank you Alex for hosting this group!
