It's true! It's all true... *sobs* Wow you really nailed this one, Sean. I suddenly feel a sense of belonging to know that other people have these same skeletons in our heads. Number six is my favorite. Each time I finish a post, I literally raise my arms in a V. David Cain’s last blog post..You Are the Greatest Story Ever Told

Alan: If you're a writer, thoughts like that are swimming in your blood. I have found that it's best sometimes to smile and say nothing. : > ) Paisley: Isn't that how it is for us, we fill it while we genuflect to its power. Vered: Yo tambien. I totally know better, but still, it's like a compulsion. Barbara: Devastating if you think about it too long. I've started to write for my forever though. I figure, a lot of my posts are just rough drafts for something else later. George: Yeah, they're probably universal secrets at least in some respect, rather than exclusive only to us writers.

Does writing in cafés when I should be shopping for food count as a guilty secret? Or blogging in my dressing gown before I get washed or dressed in the morning? Sometimes the longing to write is so strong, it's a like a drug. One way of getting round #5 is to re-read favourite posts/articles/pieces and compile them into a free ebook for new readers. I glow every time someone new subscribes. janice’s last blog post..A Touch of Grace

Hey Sean, Cool thing to consider. I do confess to having each of these apply at one time or another. Maybe they are just a part of being a writer. Maybe folks in any field struggle with similar secrets. Thought provoking post. George Tumblemoose’s last blog post..What Kindergarten taught me about writing today

Hi Sean, As a blogger, #5 rings true for me. We can have the most popular post of all, but as soon as we hit publish the next time, it slowly begins to get buried. If we're lucky it was one that was popular with search engines, but for me, that's not often the case. Kinda sad, isn't it? Barbara Swafford’s last blog post..Just The Facts
