Alex's awesome co-hosts this month
are: Eva Solar, Melanie Schulz,
Lisa-Buie Collard, and Stephen Tremp!
Please stop by their blogs and say thank you.
I'm not sure whether my problem this month is insecurity or simply frustration.
I didn't want there to be a whole year in between book releases, but I've blown right past the (self-imposed) deadline, and there's nothing I can do about it. I keep telling myself my debut took me 2 1/2 years from start to pub., and that 1 is good in comparison, but I still don't like that I can't get book two done.
I joked with some writer friends recently that my life is a mix of good and sucky right now, and that pretty much sums it up. The insecurity I'm feeling is related to my 'real job' and my personal life, not my writing. I'm just trying to take it day by day, write when I can, and not be too hard on myself when I can't.
What about you?

safe haven for writers to express their feelings and concerns without
fear of appearing foolish or weak. It's also a venue for offering
support, both in the form of comments and positive posts. Writers of all kinds are welcome.
