Guys, I want to apologize for my erratic behavior in the last two posts. The thing is, I’m not really sure HOW I can build a reading circle. I’ve looked at other blog novels, and I’ve even built a page on Facebook. I do take responsibility for the failure and/or success of the blog. But I really do want it to succeed. I’d love for a publisher or someone in the business to come across it and see some potential in it. I realize that schlepping it just to people not in the know (people who aren’t writers) is not going to work.
I’m just frustrated with myself. The truth is, I have massive writer’s block. It takes so much time and effort just to sit down in the hope of writing, that I end up skipping it altogether. I’m actually scared of writing. I really want to put stuff down on paper (or post online), but I am so worried that it will come out disjointed, nonsensical, and not worth people’s precious time. My worst fear is that someone will say that I’m the worst writer he or she is ever seen, and that they wouldn’t even consider me to shine their shoes, let alone for a publishing deal. That’s why all the blogs that I’ve started over the years have failed big time. Well, in part. I don’t have a laptop and almost all the work that I do manage to put out, is in my family’s living room desktop computer. Perhaps if I had a laptop, I could get things done faster.
Once again, I’m sorry.
