It's difficult for me too, really makes me squeamish to share my blog with friends though I've got plenty of them. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, am glad that I'm not alone! I guess each blogger has this issue every now and then, and we must overcome! :)Reading Homeschoolerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12994421772045675863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2383810898489580887.post-8508693620478031932011-03-18T16:06:42.862-04:002011-03-18T16:06:42.862-04:00I am my own worst enemy.

I just don't feel I am that good of a writer, and that holds me back from ever finishing these book ideas I start.C.Mahanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03257312250523833312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2383810898489580887.post-2355310680248382582011-03-18T14:07:02.261-04:002011-03-18T14:07:02.261-04:00I have a marketing background, so that's easy ...I have a marketing background, so that's easy for me. I love people and I dig writing, so that's easy, too. My challenges? Thinking too hard about what to write, what slant to take, my audience...I get way too technical and become stumped. That said, I'm great with client material - never had a problem writing for others. It's my stuff that I over-analyze. ;-)Laura Townshendhttp://biggreyhorse.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2383810898489580887.post-58930905452496837022011-03-18T13:44:14.604-04:002011-03-18T13:44:14.604-04:00I find marketing very hard, too.

I am also finding it is sometimes hard for people to see me in a different light than they viewed me before. I have landed strangers as clients easier than people who know me on a professional level in another venue. It can be hard to "sell" the new you. I am working on it as it is the only way to avoid writing the stuff I hate and doing the stuff I love.Sheltie Timeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09767754895398722143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2383810898489580887.post-80425264210667983732011-03-18T13:35:21.077-04:002011-03-18T13:35:21.077-04:00Carrie, I am an extremely self-conscious freelance...Carrie, I am an extremely self-conscious freelancer myself. I feel your pain. It does get better with time, but rejection always stink. You pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and submit the next bid. You'll get there!Angiehttp://theworkathomewife.comnoreply@blogger.com
