I appreciate the encouragement. I'm pretty comfortable in the world of nonfiction, as well as burbling on about my not-so-deep thoughts for the world to see... it's "fiction fright" that's the issue.

I hope you find your niche in the writing world and the right people to bounce ideas back and forth. I think most writers give up too early in the pursuit of professional writing success. It sounds like you are pursuing good resources/groups and that will help you stay on the track you want. <br/><br/>-bm Your blog writing is good writing.

I looked at your notes, and realized maybe it was only in principle, but still... I, too, have looked for a Kitsap area writers' group, but lots of them have moved online. I would like face time with real people, other "humans becoming", too! SW – thanks – your stories are fun to follow on, you’ve got lots of action and possibilities to play with!

You speak for many of us. I nodded my head and smiled all the way through this reading and at one point, had to shake my head for fear you might actually be inside it, plagiarizing my own doubtful thoughts.

I have always considered myself uber-confident except when it comes to really putting my heart on the line.

Enter writing, stage left. It sounds like you are moving in the write direction….I need to go over there and check out your work.

I am contemplating joining a Seattle-area writer’s group in order to get my own non-fiction ball rolling – I’m very decent at honouring commitments to others but not as dedicated when it comes to my own.

Anyways, great post. You speak for many of us. I nodded my head and smiled all the way through this reading and at one point, had to shake my head for fear you might actually be inside it, plagiarizing my own doubtful thoughts.
