Lazy or Insecure?
I would've never imagined that attempting to write a book would have me reading so much! I'm currently reading "Author 101: Best Selling Non-Fiction". In it we (aspiring authors) are asked that we visit our local bookstore and become familiarized with books in the subject matter we are writing about. Of couse, I run to the local Barnes and Noble only to find there's a multitude of books regarding posivite psychology and self esteem but none that combines both notions. I am very excited! This means that it's a new take on what I am proposing. What's even better news, is that I am well versed in both subjects. Great News!...Why is it then that I have yet to write a concise and put together attempt of an outline. Ugh!!!!
It's frustrating to know what you want to write about, and half way through your impulse feel like perhaps no one will want to really read what you have to say. I have a tad bit of insecurity, considering what I will be writing about I feel more like a fraud than an expert. I should be able to know it out! Instead I find myself entertaining my "writing hour" with phone calls to the "boo", watching tv or reading trash magazines. When I actually make myself write, I end up with nothing to say. I'm hoping that I come out of this rut soon enough. I am sure there's someone out there that has felt the way I do. There's no way this cycle is unique to my experience.
