I can't believe it's already time for the October meeting of the Insecure Writer's Support Group, hosted by Alex J. Cavanaugh.
At first I thought I was going to have to sit this month's meeting out because I couldn't think of a topic to post about for the group. I've been feeling pretty good lately and have taken a bit of a break from my normal habit of tearing myself to shreds on a daily basis. ;)
But when I thought about it I decided that, really, not feeling insecure was worth a post all by itself. I'm certain this won't last, and by the November meeting I probably will have so many ideas for topics that I won't be able to decide on just one but, for now, it feels good to be able to say I've taken a short break from insecurity.
So here's hoping for some insecurity-free days, weeks, or months for everyone. :)
I'm also excited to be participating in the launch party for C.M. Brown's He Came For Mine! Congratulations, C.M.!
He Came For Mine is Book Two in The Protector Series, which started with He Came For Me. Here is a short teaser from C.M. to whet your appetite for the story:
Fending for herself for almost two years, Jazz worries she will never see Sebastian again.
A new man enters her life,
But does he hold a secret?
Will Jazz trust him?
~~~~
Sebastian discovers an ancient ritual which must be performed on the Chosen One's son before his first birthday.
He returns to Earth to find Jazz in the arms of another man.
A man he knows very well.
A man he doesn't trust!

She's hosting a fun giveaway with prizes that include an Amazon gift card and a free book cover illustration by her talented cover artist, Rebekah Romani.

Congratulations again and best of luck to C.M!!
I love those moments - however they long they last - where the insecurities are dulled down or non-existent. :) Enjoy it, Julie! Bask in it! You deserve it.
ReplyDeleteI'm all for the positive, J! I think it's great when we don't have something to freakout over, because it happens so rarely. (At least in my case ... I think every one of my posts are ISWG material. lol)
ReplyDeleteBest of luck to C.M., and may we all have many more insecurity-free days ahead. :-)
We need a break from security now and then!
ReplyDeleteExcited for Carolyn.
Hello! I'm visiting from IWSG.
ReplyDeleteAwesome to take a break from insecurity!
Congrats to C.M. Brown! Love the cover.
@Madeline, thanks! I agree, these moments are few and far between but definitely wonderful.
ReplyDelete@EJ, LOL, 99% of my posts are probably appropriate for IWSG too. Thanks!
@Alex, me too, Carolyn's series looks great to me.
@Jackie, hi, nice to meet you. Thanks for coming by!
Congrats to Carolyn!
ReplyDeleteAnd it's definitely good to celebrate being not insecure! :)
Embrace the security!! We all know how rare the feeling is. Ha! :))
ReplyDeleteAnd congrats to C.M.
I agree, enjoy the moment. :)
ReplyDeleteSo totally uninsecure!! Is that even a word??? Happy for you!
ReplyDeleteYou're completely right to post about not being insecure. I've done the same. It feels good to write the words down and know that everything is perfect, for a little while at least. I hope it lasts!! :-)
ReplyDelete@Cherie, I agree!
ReplyDelete@LG, LOL, yeah, it won't last long.
@Tonja, definitely. :)
@Pat, LOL, uninsecure, I like that! ;)
@Annalisa, thanks! It did feel good actually writing it down, I hope it will last for a while. :)
Julie, glad that you are doing so well. Enjoy that feeling. Have an awesome day!
ReplyDelete@Susanne, thank you! I hope you have a great day as well. :)
ReplyDeleteBig cheers to not feeling insecure!!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a good person who deserves to be confident in all of your achievements! I think that this is only a sign of more great things to come!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Carolyn too! Julie
I keep seeing another "Julie" on blogs and just knew it had to be a sign. Glad I stopped by. Love your efforts with our furry friends. And yes, here's to keeping focused on the joy of writing and all that is positive about this journey.
ReplyDelete@Johanna, yay! :)
ReplyDelete@Julie, oh, that's so nice, thanks!
@Julie, oh, great to meet you, thanks for coming by!
Congratulations on the pending publication of your book. That would be good reason to feel positive! Such wonderful validation! Thank you for your kind comment on Middle Passages.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have times of not feeling inscure but those won't be happening anytime soon. I have so many things I'm feeling insecure about and that's gonna be at least a year or so to have that "good-feeling".
ReplyDeleteI'm also a member of IWSG! Nice to meet you! *hugs* :)
Yeah, I'm not really feeling too insecure about my writing at the moment, either. I hope it lasts, or I'll just enjoy it while it does. It's new for me, lol.
ReplyDeleteI hope yours lasts, too. ;)
Glad you're feeling pretty good. I love hearing that. :D
ReplyDeleteI don’t think I’m feeling secure enough to leave a comment!! ;)
ReplyDelete@Liza, thanks! I was so glad to come upon your blog, it's great to meet you.
ReplyDelete@Livia, I know what you mean, that's how I usually am but I hope you will have that good feeling sooner than you expect! Thanks for coming by here. :)
@Cathy, thanks, I hope we both can hold on to these good times. :)
@Mary, thanks!
@Carolyn, LOL, get Austin to help you, he is always totally secure in his own abilities. :D
thanks for spreading good news! its always a boost!
ReplyDeleteglad you're up this month!
Taking a break from insecurity sounds like a good thing to do. I might even try it myself... if I can muster up the courage!
ReplyDelete@Tara, thanks@
ReplyDelete@Rosalind, I hope you can, good luck! :D
Your positive energy is contagious, Julie. Thanks for sharing! You brought a smile!
ReplyDeleteJulie, I hope that the feeling of security last for you and continues until way past the November meeting. I think these posts are really great to read, especially for those of us who are still having the insecurities running around our heads.
ReplyDeleteC.M's book sounds great and I'm loving the cover art. Wishing her the best of luck with the release.
Julie, I am so glad you're feeling secure. You deserve it in spades! I also like your updated mini bio on the sidebar!!! Woot, woot!

ReplyDeleteHey,

Which is OK, right? I'm feeling insecure now?
Hello? Is there anyone there?
Oh my, it's just me here, alone in the Blogisfear...
Yikes... :)
