Today is the day when I think about writing and wonder why I do it. If I write for myself I shouldn't be bothered by less than stellar reviews, or not enough of them, or not being on the NY Times best seller list, but as hard as I try to hold back my competitive nature I can't. [Giggle]
I love seeing my author friends' success, every step of the way. Honestly, when I was younger I might have been jealous. Now, I just want to get there, too. In fact, if I think about their success it gives me hope. The way authors help each other out is a team effort, pulling each other and pushing to the top. It's always a pleasure to share. Because each of us is writing our own thing it isn't a competition, it's a team effort to rise to the top. There's room and we can bounce off each other.
Have a great month. See you next insecure Wednesday and until then be strong, be bold, be brave!
