Insecurities 2013

Thanks to ALEX CAVANAUGH
As the year 2013 comes to an end I'm reassessing the INSECURITIES that plagued me. These are the ones I drag around in a big sack; others only nibble at my heels like annoying puppies. I'll never finish writing this book.If I do sell this, reviewers may shred it.It's not as good as my last book.It's not as good as X's book!No one will read this book.I can't write worth (fill in blank).Why did I ever think I could write? Are any of these familiar? May 2014 see some of these fade or disappear entirely.  Sliding on the Edge, C. Lee McKenzie, WestSide Books, Spring '09
