I have been thinking of launching something this week but doubt and fear have kept me from doing it. I finally decided I would get it done but hear it is Tuesday and I haven't moved on it yet. You always seem to have the best words and "pep talks" in store whether in person, phone or blog. Thanks for reminding me that I can have the control over this ever constant player in my life.tracyphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01216851348923626656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4435062275537032044.post-70057970331730642072010-02-23T15:35:31.168-06:002010-02-23T15:35:31.168-06:00Frankie - yes I freaked out when I saw my name on ...Frankie - yes I freaked out when I saw my name on Maggie's blog. As for today's entry...I appreciate the compliment. ;o) I love to see your smiling face pop by!<br /><br />Elana - 40 days? WOW that is a great idea for Lent...I am with you - if I could go along for that ride it would be awesome!<br /><br />Simon - revision is the one place that I handle self doubt the best. It is climbing up the mountain where I tend to teeter along the edge. your stuff suck? NEVER. Thank you for the kind words.<br /><br />Shannon - you can definitely count on all of us. You are amazing & self doubt should definitely just be applied to characters rather than your talent!<br /><br />Roxy - you are so right! Writing is one of those blessed techniques that is ever evolving for the writer. We can really turn a self doubt moment into success. Sorry for the pain... ;o) Thank you for stopping by!Courtney Barr - The Southern Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14455508477182984039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4435062275537032044.post-37761041816817472052010-02-23T11:48:14.538-06:002010-02-23T11:48:14.538-06:00I'm a huge self-doubter.

The great thing about writing is just doing the best you can at what you love and evolving as you learn to do it better. The entire work belongs to you, and if no one else catches your vision, the story is still there. Waiting for you to change and grow with it. Thanks for the deep post. My frontal lobe hurts, but it's a good pain. :)Roxyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09787088898112141579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4435062275537032044.post-52209565999086546392010-02-23T11:05:17.637-06:002010-02-23T11:05:17.637-06:00Self-doubt is a killer.

Someone declared that for the next 40 days, she's going without self-doubt.
