August is Awesome! It just is. It's my birthday month and my anniversary month. Plus, it's actual summertime here in the Northwest United States . . .it's just getting into the 80s this week. I know that much of the states are sweltering, but here we are just getting warm.
So what in the world does that have to do with IWSG?
I'm in an unstoppable, amazing mood so I can't really get into insecurities right now. I have them. They suck. I'm not interested in giving them the time of day. I'm just too happy to let them pull me down right now.
So, my advice and encouragement today is:
Be Happy.
Write and Be Happy. Live and Be Happy. Just Be Happy.
Love every word you write. Love your life. Love yourself.
Know Joy.
Then go by Alex J. Cavanaugh's site and give him a giant virtual hug!
And go hug other writers and their blogs!

The good news is that there is no rule that says we are required to be unhappy. Yay for you and your happy day!
