Do you ever feel this way? Or am I all alone? You know, like my butt is too big, my time is too limited. Is anyone buying my books? What a god-awful writer I must be…the worst writer on the face of the earth.
Days filled with doubt, insecurities and pettiness. Get over it, girl. I mean me. Not you, you’re fine.
I’ll be better tomorrow. Like my grandma always said, “This too shall pass.”

I get those days and they really suck! I hope you’re feeling better about things today. Hugs
Yes, I feel that way. And then I get my “time of the month” (excuse the TMI….hee hee).
And then I wake up the next morning and think, “Geez. Was I over-reacting or what?”
And then your good bud tells you….”You kick ass! You are a beautiful writer, and a beautiful person. And we will toast to this with a gigantic bottle of delicious red wine in one short month.”
Feeling better yet? ((((((((HUGS)))))))))
All the time except when at home or when the grand kids are visiting
But you cheer me up xxxx
We’ve certainly all been there, gal! Tomorrow is another day. For today, I’ll say that you’re brilliant and lovely and you shouldn’t doubt yourself. Much love to you!
I think one of the golden rules should be: “Be as kind to yourself as you are to others.”
You have so many talents and strengths. I think you have a great gift for being descriptive and perfectly concise as an author, exploit it!

So ya’ll, I’m thinking of the song we used to sing at summer camp - “Nobody likes me. Everybody hates me. Guess I’ll go eat worms.” My husband told me I must be good to myself.
Happens to me all the time, especially when I’m writing. You are an amazing writer (I want to be like you when I grow up
). Hang in there! You rock! Tell the Doubt Monster I have a baseball bat with his name on it!
Hey Julie,
Yep I’ve been there! But you know it does get better.
Ah, the winter blues. Or the monthly blues. Or the blues that hit right before I have my first morning cup of coffee. Yes, this too shall pass.
In the meantime, quit saying my friend sucks. (how about that, huh?)
Look you got like ten comments! I am lucky if ten people view my brilliant blog on any given day. And, with a sister who has just retired from being CEO of a bank and another who owns business colleges, I feel worthless most of the time.
Poor Me. S
I like what your grandmother says. I went through this a few days ago myself and I wasn’t PMSing. I was ready to throw in the towel and never write again. Nothing felt right. I think we all go through these things. Makes us human. And you DON’T suck!!!

I tell you, Stacey, I am really struggling. I hope the New Year will bring some calm to my life. Thanks! You don’t suck either!
Steph, I love your blog, just haven’t had time to do anything yet as my new computer keeps effin’ up! I think that’s one of the things bugging me.
Thanks for the words of encouragement, Jaye. Means a lot.
Thanks, Rhi - you are so sweet!
I will tell him, Casey. Big bat.
Honey, I’m right there with you, although on reflection its more my stomach and thighs. grin. But I have felt for a long time that we need to form an AA for authors when doubts and insecurities hit. And for the record, you’re an awesome writer.
It happens to me, often. My goal, in those moments, is to suck harder than anyone ever sucked before. I mean, if you can’t win at winning, win at sucking! (That sounded dirtier than I intended…)
Elizabeth - LOL! You are so right, damn it. How did I miss that???
