What Are You Scared to Write? [Oh, It's Tuesday]

Oct 25, 2011 Comments Off by

Hey-o Happy Folks,

Today I’m blogging over at Girlfriends Book Club about the genres I’m too scared to even attempt writing:

Writers being writers (read really frickin’ neurotic), there’s a huge list of things that scare us. For my part, I’ve had both waking and sleeping nightmares about missing deadlines, getting career-ending reviews, current fans pitchforking my future works, apocalyptic sales, losing the ability to write because of a brain or severe physical injury, having an editor inform me that I’ll “never write in this town again” — really, I could go on and on.

[UPDATE: Last night after writing this post, I dreamed that a long ago enemy invited me to dinner with her friends and exceedingly handsome fiance to tell me about the huge non-fiction three-book deal she'd just garnered. Then she asked me what I was working on. #truenightmares]

But I won’t, because today’s blog isn’t about what scares me as a writer. No, it’s about what I’m scared to write. [More!]
