And thanks again for the comment on the other post (though it got eaten).<br /><br />I hope I reach the point of self-assurance soon. I'll definitely have a look at The Asylum.Jake Heneganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05031767958230378191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128453328718261159.post-8753040957944488652011-05-29T22:42:44.374+02:002011-05-29T22:42:44.374+02:00I'm SO so so happy to read what you wrote in t...I'm SO so so happy to read what you wrote in this post. You're right ... and it's terrifying isn't it? But, do you know what this means?<br /><br />You're a brave writer. In brave writing there are no assurances.<br /><br />And that's really the best kind of author to be. I write a lot about this at The Asylum. You should swing by and check it out. <br /><br />You're smart ... smarter than you give yourself credit for. Get to know yourself well enough, and eventually you'll no longer need outside input. I was where you are at one point. Now, I only edit to editorial request. It's a damn good feeling. But, there are still moments where I think everything I commit to paper is awful (see the post 'Passport Please'). I think every author feels that way from time to time. It's natural. <br /><br />Glad Michelle, Mood and I could sway your opinion. I usually try to stay out of people's business and beliefs, but I believe so strongly in self-assurance as an author, that I couldn't help but to comment on this.<br /><br />Excellent conclusions. Well done.J.S.

And I agree, interest is somehow contagious (for the initial look at least).Jake Heneganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05031767958230378191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128453328718261159.post-47374303399983783542011-05-26T11:20:47.278+02:002011-05-26T11:20:47.278+02:00Cool.

(Although, if you do happen to stumble across the key to being a great writer, please tweet me <a href="http://twitter.com/mooderino" rel="nofollow">@mooderino</a>)<br /><br />A big part of it is working out what kind of stories you want to write and what kind of things you want to say in them. It doesn't matter if no one else seems interested, if you're passionate about it they will become interested. <br /><br />mood<br /><a href="http://moodywriting.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Moody Writing</a>mooderinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01523337588830695638noreply@blogger.com
