Th...I just found your blog and I'm enjoying it. This post certainly resonated for me. <br /><br />My most illustrative story about never being confident of work was an essay I wrote about my mother's final illness. I started writing it in my head in 1999. I got it on paper in 2001.Wrote, rewrote. I workshopped it in 2003. I rewrote it numerous times based on feedback and submitted it to rejections. It was a bit dark and needed the right home. I found a good home for it in 2006. <br /><br />After publication, I saw about 10 things I'd change if I got to edit again. I can't read it today without wanting to take an edit pencil to it. <br /><br />You're right. We are NEVER confident. NEVER satisfied.<br /><br />Great blog. Inspirational. I am starting a memoir and just bought Fearless Confessions after reading your interview.Middle-aged Diva (Carol)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01568652518759320329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5371028182709754366.post-45154299516823785922009-08-21T01:22:41.787-04:002009-08-21T01:22:41.787-04:00Oh, I get it.
