The Insecure Writers Support Group


It’s time for another edition of The Insecure Writer’s Support Group, founded by Ninja Captain, Alex J. Cavanaugh.

The question for today: Describe someone you admired when you were a child. Did your opinion of that person change when you grew up?

If we are referring to authors, then there is an author I admired when younger but not so much now. Still a great writer, but as I matured, I realized our values didn’t line up. There were elements in the books that I’d missed when young and naïve that I prefer not to read about now. Sad, but there are other great authors that I can still enjoy.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. You may have seen this on Facebook, but we were trying to go light with the gifts this year. As you can see from the carnage, we failed. (Several gifts are behind the coffee table, some out in the kitchen, and several big items out of sight, so it’s worse than it looks. And there are only two of us.)
The cats had a great Christmas—that toy in the photo held their interest for hours. Both of them! Needless to say, they slept well that afternoon.


Was there someone you admired? Has your opinion of them changed? How was your Christmas?
