Insecure Writers' Support Group (IWSG) is a really awesome meme that you should be doing along with the rest of us writers. Unless you truly are happy with your writing and don't feel the need to vent about your insecurities because they don't exist for you. But, really.... Don't they?
IWSG is hosted by Captain Ninja Alex at his blog, Alex J. Cavanaugh.
In terms of your writing career, where do you see yourself five years from now, and what’s your plan to get there?
I'm back from the dead, as I usually am every few months on this blog, to answer the IWSG question. This question gets harder and harder for me to answer each passing year, but I see myself a published author with a book or two under my belt. But, as each year passes and I have nothing to show for it, that becomes a harder vision to see. Maybe I'm never going to publish anything.
My only idea for a plan to get there is to actually finish something I start and self-publish it. That would be easier than seeking a publisher, when it comes to actually publishing a book. At this point, that's all I want to accomplish because it would mean I finished a novel-length manuscript. A girl can dream!
All I want for Christmas is a finished manuscript! Anyway, knowing me, this will probably be my last blog post of the year, so Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to everyone! Hope you all, myself included, have a wonderful Holiday season.
Did any of you think of giving up on your dream of being a published author before you actually succeeded in accomplishing it?
