This scene is TOTALLY fine!" Or sometimes, I'll get an idea and will just know that it's something special.

Her reactions give me hope, but on the other hand, she's a reader, not a writer, and I worry the critique from fellow writers will be more harsh.Mason T.

We think, "Damn, I nailed that line." Or "Whoa, that was an awesome description." But we doubt the whole of our work. We look at the premise, or the plot, or the marketability, and we have this horrible, heartsick feeling that no one will be interested, no matter how many clever lines we've nailed. This is the core of the Insecure Writer Syndrome!Dianne K. Salernihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16459839567235304842noreply@blogger.com
