In the midst of NaNoWriMo, typing like I've never typed before (see the keys smoking?), I have just two pieces of advice for insecure writers everywhere (including myself):
Just keep writing, just keep writing, just keep writing, just keep writing, just keep writing . . .
and
"And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds." Hebrews 10:24
And Day 1 NaNoWriMo closed for me with 2,846 words!!! Day 2 will come in the wee hours of morning . . . and then I'll visit all of you awesome insecure writers!
ReplyDeleteI've left you an award on my blog :)

In our house, we've modified the motto to 'just keep running'! It works for us!

Closing Day 2 of NaNo with 4,700 words . . .
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your post. I get so frustrated, I have the grand total of 431 followers-yet only eight bothered to comment on yesterday's blog. If I choose to follow someone I always comment whenever they write.
ReplyDeleteIs it all worth it?

Hi! Found you via the blog hop. I'm not Nanoing but I still have to remind myself to just get the words down. They can be fixed later. Best of luck!!!
ReplyDeleteYvonne- I think it is worth it, but when we follow lots of blogs and lots of bloggers follow us, it's a lot to keep up with . . . I know I have a tough time making time, so I expect others have the same time constraints too.
ReplyDeleteCharissa - Hi! Great to meet you! And thanks!
