I've been extremely neglectful of this blog for most of March. I blame this on one person and one person only:

YAY for you!

Thanks Rose! She makes it easy to forget the world of Twitter & LJ!

[angie_frazier]

Thank you!!

Your distraction is absolutely beautiful...and your writing is, too. You don't need to worry about comparing yourself to anybody else! *hugs*

Thanks Steph! I'm definitely feeling more confident this week about my writing. Those low funks are never fun!

OMG, she is so cute! It’s amazing how fast they grow.

I think your fears are universal, at least when talking about our crazy writer-minds. You hit the nail on the head though when you said "I am who I am". That’s true for all of us. We’re not going to be like F. Scott Fitzgerald, or Robert Frost, or J.K. Rowling, and we shouldn’t be. How boring would it be if all the books on the library shelves sounded the same? Voice is an integral part of story and it can only ring true when it is distinctive.

You should be proud of yourself, Angie. You have TWO series being published. TWO! There are obviously a lot of people out there who like the way you write. Keep it up :)

REVOLUTION literally made me stop writing/question whether i should be doing this for a solid week or so.

It's brutal, and right now I'm totally battling with writing insecurity myself, so I kind of don't know how to appropriately argue you out of yours. Other than, you know, I think you're a complete and total rockstar and I have to say, I think a lot of people agree with me. ;-)

And man that baby's cute!!!!!

Annie, those writing insecurity funks are brutal, indeed. I hope you overcome yours soon! Thanks for your vote of confidence :-D

[angie_frazier]

It would be so boring if all books sounded alike, you are so right. Though I sometimes suffer from "Gah! I wish I'd thought to write that!!" syndrome :-) Thanks Megan, and I hope you're doing well!
