It’s time for another edition of The Insecure Writer’s Support Group, founded by Ninja Captain, Alex J. Cavanaugh.
The question for today: Some common fears writers share are rejection, failure, success, and lack of talent or ability. What are your greatest fears as a writer? How do you manage them?
I think my concerns have to do with my past, earlier efforts. I worry that my first efforts, written about 20 years ago, don’t measure up and those who have read them won’t read my most recent efforts.
Paranormal romance is very popular, but my In Darkness books have not found a large audience. Four separate eBooks or one print/eBook – readers have options. Are they not selling because my previous fiction wasn’t as good?
Or is it another reason? Are the stories too clean? Do paranormal romance readers only want R and X rated material?
Either way, it’s both frustrating and not a moral booster.
