I'm definitely lost in the ozone. It's February 1, already, another Insecure Writer's Support Group. For more info click on that little badge over there to the right. It will tell you all about it and send you to some other sites, where you can probably get some good advice about overcoming your insecurities. Unfortunately, that ain't gonna happen here today.
I've spent the last week trying not to become 'whale puke'. That's a reference from The Book, if you don't get it right off, don't ask. I am totally insecure about everything right now. Well, everything to do with myself and my wee little life. BUT, I have every confidence in you, Dear Writers. So, I'm gonna spend this day visiting your sites, all of your sites, looking for comfort and confidence. while I try to figure out just how long I can tread water.
Here's the good thing about this post. It will get you guys off that prison track. Words seem to be my enemy.
I never been to prison,
but, I been to Oklahoma.
(NOT words from a song, but it could be.)
What are words, if you really don't mean them
when you say them.
(THESE are words from a song - 'What are Words')
Poor dinosaurs in that picture.
ReplyDeleteI hope you find some inspiration and confidence in the sites you visit. :)
Sun is shining in Missouri today. Hope it's shining over you!
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThe blogosphere is a give and take, and today you get to take. Remember, writers are the worst self-critics, so don't listen to half of what your telling yourself! :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you are encouraged by today then! And liked the comic. That's what I think happened.
ReplyDeleteThe cartoon made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteI've been in my own little confidence lacking cave of late. May we both find the light at the end of the tunnel soon!
What a good idea - to spend a day visiting us looking for comfort and confidence. I'm going to keep that one tucked under my arm. I'm sure by the end of it you'll feel very inspired! :)
ReplyDeleteThe writing community has a lot of great encouraging and inspirational things to say. You'll find it again and swim circles around that ark!
ReplyDeleteLol. Poor dinosaurs, but I'm kinda glad they didn't hop on board. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I hope you find just the right post for you to keep going :) (No doubt you will. These bloggers are amazing!)
Love the comic. Hopefully some blog will speak to your heart today. I know sometimes it's uncanny how I find one that seems to "speak" to the exact mood I'm in. Try DL Hammon's his was exceptionally good today.
ReplyDeleteHey, thanks for stopping by my blog and becoming a follower. Poor lil dinosaurs, can't help feeling sorry for them what they look so cute :P
ReplyDeleteHey I just watched Jurassic Park III with Macy....to those "oh poor dinos" comments ARE YOU NUTS!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt was good to talk, I hope that helped.....remember whale puke is better than whale poop!
That's a funny cartoon!
ReplyDeleteWe have all "missed the boat" from time to time, but that was ONE BOAT you REALLY didn't want to miss. Ha!

Yeah but the cartoon had to make you laugh and tomorrow is another day.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the kind words. There are a lot of days when I feel like those dinosaurs - I just missed the boat.
ReplyDeleteStrange how things workout. First I decided to go to Nineveh. Things should start to pick up. Right? Next, my 'Muse' up and slapped my face. It still stings. I guess I still have a ways to go. I suppose that's what I get for being so stubborn. Gotta work on that!
Soak up the blogger love Barbara :) that's what its here for.
ReplyDeleteMan, do I love those dionsaurs. I've had days like that.
.......dhole
Love the Far Side comic! Aren't those words from a Three Dog Night song?
ReplyDeleteThat's a great cartoon.
ReplyDeleteThrowing you a life line. Hey, you were already brave enough to jump into the water. Now, find your rhythm.
ReplyDeleteJust keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming, swimming, swimming...
I'm sending out an inflatable to you - a brightly coloured one complete with drink holder and cocktail of your choice.
ReplyDeleteDid you find inspiration - I'm so glad January is up and we're into something a bit less depressing :)
ReplyDeleteGreat to meet you too
