Sometimes it's hard to remember that what we might consider are small accomplishments are ACCOMPLISHMENTS. Don't let that big bully critic get you down - you really are stronger than he is; he's just got the bluff on you now and it's time to call him on it. :)Kate Sterlinghttp://katesterling.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31907857.post-20119545290007772392011-03-27T12:01:55.227-05:002011-03-27T12:01:55.227-05:00Good for you!

Perhaps I should focus on those and push them out the door.<br /><br />Dang inner critic kicks back really hard and he's bigger than me!<br /><br />But, I did recently send my unfinished manuscript to a new writing friend in a manuscript exchange. I offered my thoughts on her finished project and she is looking at my stumped project. It was a scary thing to hit the send button on that email, but I did it. <br /><br />Maybe I'm not such a big chicken writer after all.Travis Codyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06192526507760146748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31907857.post-20102952454154771662011-03-27T10:27:13.770-05:002011-03-27T10:27:13.770-05:00I have to check out that book!

Which isn't to say I didn't experience rejection - Managing Maggie was rejected by three different publishers before finding a home. (Hmm... I'm seeing a pattern with the number 3) :)<br /><br />And I'm glad you believe in yourself, Edie - the world just got several great books added because of it. :)<br /><br />CHARLES - thanks! :)Kate Sterlinghttp://katesterling.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31907857.post-42856185747058448282011-03-27T10:03:18.684-05:002011-03-27T10:03:18.684-05:00About time you kicked some ass on the inner critic...About time you kicked some ass on the inner critic.

And how cool that you've published every story that you sent out.<br /><br />I have that inner critic, too, but I also believe in myself. So I keep writing despite that nasty critic.Edie Ramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17084144940233965447noreply@blogger.com
