Over a year ago, I had the first public reading of an excerpt from Tuatha de Rising at Phoenix Comicon. This year I attended the con again, lounging mostly in the writers seminars again, but this time felt a little different. This year I came in having finished my first novel. I used to be daunted when I saw the number of people in the writing panels. Now I feel more accomplished. I’ve finished it, I’m editing it, I’ve got beta readers for it, and now I’m just daunted by the prospect of trying to get it published…
The writer’s group has really been helpful. There’s nothing that breaks me out of writer’s block like a deadline.
