@BC I love that people relate to this whole feeling of inadequacy thing!

That sounds bad, but it actually bolsters me, “Hey, if they can do it feeling the way I did, then so can I.” Which is why I wrote the post in the first place. If I can do it, anyone can! :)

I had similar experience as you, when I just read, read, and read, but not writing. The more I read, the more inadequate I felt. Then, one day I decided to write instead, still reading, but more enjoyable now!

@Rose Why thank you so much. Wow, it’s hard to believe I could be an encouragement to others when I’m still so tentative myself, but I’m happy you feel that way. If I can do it, so can you!

And for the record, I don’t see myself stopping now that I’ve started. :)

That’s a beautiful entry right there. Captured the very essence of the reluctant writer in a concise and reader-friendly way. It’s a huge encouragement to fellow reluctants. I hope you keep writing!

Excellent post; it gives me the warm-fuzzies to see success stories like yours. Congratulations, and I’m glad you’re enjoying yourself.

@Wendi We do indeed.

Oh, somewhere toward the end there my eyes welled up with water and I had to stop reading for a bit.

I’m just going to say…I know exactly what you mean, and they will be on the inside thank you page of my book too.

We love you guys.

Selene.

@James When I’m waiting my turn to post I do just that. We were all sort of fumbling around those first few days. Well not you and Harry so much, and we all took our cues from you. Everyone is a lot more comfortable not only with their characters, but with one another now, and I think that helps too.

@Christine Thank you. And very good point. Who will, and why NOT me?

@Caroline Exactly! I find myself talking bits and pieces from so many people and personal experiences, and it makes the writing all that more real and believable.
