Feeling Insecure?

It’s insecure writers support group wednesday.

The terror excitement of sending off my first three chapters to an agent has died down and now I sit at the laptop, or the laptop sits on me, silently. I had ideas of continuing something light-hearted but romcom isn’t flowing through me.  I’m a wee bit too aggressive for it. I’m flipping through some ideas because I want to continue with my stick-to-itiveness so the decision about what to work on is important.

Here are my options.

• A high-tech horror piece
• Light magical realism
• A YA fiction about time travel with fun historical figures trying to find their very important items
• Something I began awhile ago about a wife that dies and begins to live her best life while dead
• Another YA steam punk idea.

When you are done with something that took up a great deal of your time and emotion, where does your writing fancy turn?  I’m feeling insecure about starting something else right now. Writing a novel is like traveling down a long road and packing the car with the right things. While exciting, is daunting. I can stick to one project, but I want to make the right decision about which project.

I’m manic busy right now. Work and the boy and all those things that have to get done. His school is really finicky about him coming to school in clothes, particularly washed ones and he complains if I don’t feed him.

Time is on my side here. There is no rush. I think it was Stephen King who said there is a missed joy of writing to no deadline.
