I Went to a Gathering Yesterday
. . . of three different writer's groups headed up by my writing teacher. We were all supposed to read aloud some small snippet of our work. I went through all my files, and suddenly realized that every single thing I'd ever written—including all my blog entries, high school essays, and every word of my novel—was crap.

Now you should post it here and let your Devoted Readers indicate whether or not they agree with this assessment....

Tisk, tisk. You're letting the inner critic get the upper hand again, aren't you? It could not have been all crap.
It just needs a little tweaking. And when you've done that...you'll realize it wasn't so bad after all and go back to the original. Maybe. Then there are those that say 90% of all writing is rewriting.

You're SUPPOSED to think that. It's those people who believe every word they write is gold that suck.

Serves you right for going to a writer's group. If they knew what they were doing, they'd be living off their royalties and not dealing with the likes of you! ;-)
Seriously, I'm sure you dazzled them! You'd know if your 40-year old eyes could've focused...

Obviously, I can't post a longish chapter here from my fiction project. What I can do is promise to make it available to my readers should I ever get it published.
