Writing is advertised as introspective, just you and a digital pen, your brain chugging along in high gear, master of your destiny. Ah, sweet muse…
No one mentions the angst writers face at each stage of the writing process.
Except Debbie Oh. Look at this:
Jacqui Murray is the editor of a K-6 technology curriculum, K-8 keyboard curriculum, creator of two technology training books for middle school and six ebooks on technology in education. She is the author of Building a Midshipman, the story of her daughter’s journey from high school to United States Naval Academy. She is webmaster for six blogs, an Amazon Vine Voice book reviewer, a columnist for Examiner.com, Editorial Review Board member for Journal for Computing Teachers, Cisco guest blog, Technology in Education featured blogger, IMS tech expert, and a bi-weekly contributor to Write Anything. Currently, she’s editing a thriller that should be out to publishers next summer. Contact Jacqui at her writing office or her tech lab, Ask a Tech Teacher.

She has a way of distilling writing to its most basic level, doesn’t she? No wonder her books are so successful.

Introspective? Shoot, writing’s becoming less so each day, and the pic illustrates only some of the writing obstacles. Hail to the writer, such a brave soul!
