Today is Alex J. Cavanaugh’s Insecure Writer’s Group where we writer’s share our own insecurities and offer support to other writers. This a great idea really because I feel like a dork most times about what I post on my blog.
So many writers out there exude confidence, and their blogs look professional. They even know what their platform is.
To be honest, I’m not sure what mine is. I’m known to have scattered energy. I blame it on my Gemini Rising and a moon in Sagittarius. While I’m able to focus to write a complete novel, I’m not real sure about my focus for a platform.
My deceased editor once told me I was a prolific writer. But how can that be good for a platform? Maybe someone can tell me because I really don’t know.
I mean I could write a ‘how to’ blog on writing but there are so many writers already doing that along with author interviews, and book reviews. I want to be original. That’s all really.
Before I wrap this post up, I’m leaving you this quote:
“Dare to create unique and unoriginal work.Don’t worry about retracing the path of ten thousand other creators. Make the journey your own with your honest, authentic thoughts and feelings. No one can accurately duplicate that.”

So what do you all think?
