The inner critic is often characterized as having a loud, booming voice. Or as assertively informing you that you are incorrect or should not have begun. It’s the voice that makes you feel tiny, inadequate, and suffocated.

As an Author and Editor, I find joy in helping other writers make their babies come to life as I was able to do myself. There are times when I am so engulfed in an editing project that I cannot work on my writing, but that doesn’t mean that another author’s success has to sting.

After having self-publishing Positive Thinking and Life, Randomness, & A Little Eroticism, I felt good. To hold your book in your hand is the most amazing feeling in the world. I couldn’t wait to publish more books. I knew there would be no more poetry, but I also knew I wasn’t ready to write a full-length novel. That is where Betrayed & Scorned comes into play, a compilation of shorts that all go together. This you will hear more about next week.
