I often feel like I'm tripping over silly things, or that I use certain words all the time as a cop out, or this or that and maybe I suck as a writer. BUT we get through it, and it sounds like the story you wrote is gonna be a good one. :) Do you have beta readers yet? I can't say when I will have time to read it, but if you need more readers I'd be glad to give it a glance over.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8793202434796167753.post-16161886119897101112013-10-08T15:05:29.726-04:002013-10-08T15:05:29.726-04:00Oh my gosh, so relevant.

And then you probably end up looking obnoxious to everyone else for claiming your best isn't good enough, I guess. ^___^<br /><br />Thanks for the compliment.
