Poked by the Finger of Inecurity - IWSG & 25 Roses

My IWSG post is late, late, late, but I’m more insecure about my capacity to remember stuff than about my writing. I remembered about posting last night, but then today dawned and I clean forgot about today’s IWSG business until I visited a friend’s blog five minutes ago

These last few months have been spent working on one magazine that cannot seem to be finalized. That plus editing a novel for another writer, and the A-Z has meant that I haven’t been able to do anything fictionwise for myself. In the last two days though, I’ve managed to work on my own edits a little bit.

Getting back into my story has given me a new burst of energy along with the urge to write. The finger of insecurity poking me right now has to do with how much writing I’m not doing and the fact that I also have to organize myself so I’ll be more efficient. With two publications on the front burner this month, plus the one that I hope will go to print—sooner, rather than later—I’d better get cracking now.

Are you super-organized or do you get sloppy, which leads to feelings of insecurity? Have you visited the IWSG members here? See you on the rounds. 

This week, Stephanie Faris is hosting a hop to reveal the cover of her next book - 25 Roses. Without further ado, here we go! 

Blurb:

Valentine's Day means one thing at Stanton Middle School: students will send each other chocolate roses. Each year, Mia Hartley watches while the same group of students gets roses and everyone else is left out. This year, she decides things will be different. As the student assigned to write names on the cards, Mia purchases 25 roses and writes her own cards, designating them to 25 people she's personally chosen. But she soon learns that playing matchmaker is much more complicated than she thought it would be.
