It's time for another Insecure Writer's Support Group post! Be sure to sign up and join us as we share our fears and offer encouragement to the group :)
This month, I'd like to offer some support to those of you feeling frustrated. I know this sounds like a cliche, but hang in there! You can do it!
I often think that just when I am about to quit. Then I think, "Am I being just too stubborn?" And then the argument starts with all my inner voices. LOL.
Yes, I'm in desperate need of a BREAKTHROUGH! I'm getting nowhere on my WIP and am thinking of taking a blog vacay. Naturally, I just promised to do a bloghop though... I have to find a way to work harder I guess.

ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly, Al. 'Cause, gosh knows, I'm stubborn! :)
DeleteIWSG #184 until Alex culls the list again.
I've read in several success stories where the authors were just about to throw in the towel and their chance hit. Almost seems to go hand in hand ;)
ReplyDeleteI love that quote. I need to remind myself not to quit! Thanks for the encouragement.
ReplyDeleteToo true. Lots of people give up right at the finish line. Of course in this industry, there's always another finish line just over the horizon. =)
ReplyDeleteJust what I needed today! Thank you, Lara! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeletePerfect! :D
ReplyDeleteTrue. I always have to remind myself that if I give up I'll never reach my goal, where if I keep trying at least there's a chance.

ReplyDeleteI have always felt the same way. It seems to get really hard before you break through to something great.
ReplyDeleteGreat quote! Bet a lot of people needed that.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments, everyone! I'm glad this quote helped you :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the boost of inspiration!
ReplyDeleteGreat words to keep in mind when things get tough.
ReplyDeleteYes. Saying "I give up" is an invitation for inspiration to jump you.
