It's Insecure Writer's Support Group time. The purpose of this group, led by Ninja Captain Alex, is to release fears into the world or give encouragement for those who are struggling. Writing can be tough and we need the support of each other.

Like always, I almost forgot if not for someone else's blog post mentioning the group.

Right now (although probably not by the time you read this) I'm sitting in my living room, watching Fact or Faked, and feeling lost. I am not a planner; I am a flat out panster. Fly by the seat of my pants. That makes planning very difficult for me. But having no plan can be very confusing. Often I feel lost. Am I doing all that I can for my books? Are there new marketing techniques I can try? Why is talking to people so hard?

I think I'm on a streak. Am I on a streak? I'm not sure; I need to go look and see if I remembered IWSG last month. Yes, I did, but I forgot to tag it. This one is tagged.

Anyhow... I have no idea what I want to talk about. I don't really have any writing woes. This past week I slacked off and I blame the week before that were I had an awesome week of writing. It always seems when I have a great writing day it's offset by a slow writing day. I guess my mind needs time to recharge. Ah well, that time is usually spent knitting.

I don't really have any encouragement to give. Well, I do, but it's nothing heartwarming or something I haven't said before. I'm trucking along. You're trucking along. Yay us!

I remembered this time! \o/ It was thanks to a commenter in one of my blog posts, but still, I am writing a post of the Insecure Writer's Support Group this month. This also reminds me that I need to update my link to this blog and not my blogspot.

I have to admit, I'm not sure what to talk about. There are no insecurities other than the usual. Will people like Snapshots? How can I get Being Human into readers' hands? But there was something the other day. A feeling I had while reading through Snapshots. Excitement. As I was tweaking and editing, I had a surge of excitement that brought a smile to my face. I was doing it! (Again.) I was getting a book published. I wanted to jump for joy and squee.
