I felt exactly the same as a school teacher, although colleagues, kids and parents all gave me great feedback, in fifteen years I never managed to shake the deep seated conviction that deep down I was winging it and would one day come crashing into public view!Kathnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2725342624231517088.post-72222462721904979962011-03-21T20:40:27.711+00:002011-03-21T20:40:27.711+00:00Oh for anxieties like this, Helen - bring it on!Oh for anxieties like this, Helen - bring it on!Debs Ricciohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10837598374947020855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2725342624231517088.post-17943340860381079672011-03-21T13:01:18.657+00:002011-03-21T13:01:18.657+00:00Oh, what a wonderful post, Helen!

It chimed so much with me.<br /><br />"I mean, I wrote it on a whim, having had no training other then reading as a hobby..."<br /><br />That's me, too. And the "I. Am. Not. A. Writer" bit.<br /><br />So, a very happy Monday to you, as well, Helen - and thank you for making me smile.Rosy Thorntonhttp://www.rosythornton.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2725342624231517088.post-40081011134849967492011-03-21T10:08:58.116+00:002011-03-21T10:08:58.116+00:00Do we think this is a very female thing to feel.
...Do we think this is a very female thing to feel.<br /><br />Not in the sense that no men feel this way, but that they are more likley to have confidence in their abilities?<br />HBxHelen Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00266205672947750373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2725342624231517088.post-36732702711969570352011-03-21T09:04:11.847+00:002011-03-21T09:04:11.847+00:00I once went on a business course (not writing) whe...I once went on a business course (not writing) where people were asked to put their hands up if they ever felt like that - about 90% did. I never stopped feeling it, even when I reached director level of a company I worked for (probably especially then, in fact).<br /><br />So good on you for accepting it and putting it behind you. And good luck with the new book!Sherrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18288574214855156268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2725342624231517088.post-6040005926257693482011-03-21T08:47:46.256+00:002011-03-21T08:47:46.256+00:00Happy Monday, Helen and many happy returns!Happy Monday, Helen and many happy returns!Geraldine Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01575892095296317266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2725342624231517088.post-54788070413573549552011-03-21T08:05:53.392+00:002011-03-21T08:05:53.392+00:00I wanted to burst into applause reading this, Hele...I wanted to burst into applause reading this, Helen!
