Us Writers, It’s True. We Often Overanalyze Ourselves.

It may be crazy but it’s true.

I’m right there with ya.

So in reading other people’s amazing work I am thinking to myself,

“Who do you flippin’ think you are?”

“Who gives a shit about what I think or want to share?”

We do this shit to ourselves.

For my two first articles, I had FB buddies proofread them. Then I found Grammarly.

I bow down to Grammarly.

I learned of Medium because my son started writing here. Just gotta say, he’s brilliant.

I don’t know if this is allowed, but his name is Joe Duncan.

He for sure is not gonna be happy that I used his name, but I am a mom, after all.

In my quest to do well on Medium, I looked for shortcuts.

I am sure I am not the first. For example, taking an article and changing it enough to not be plagiarizing, and publish it.

I couldn’t do it. It felt dirty.

Slowly I started thinking my style was ok.

Still not 100% convinced, but it is growing on me.

I did find a link where you can type in a word, and the link below will give you big words to use.

I love being a HUGE MESS!
