Kate Cavanaugh Writes | (ALL OF) MY WRITING & STORY INSECURITIES | has my writing improved in 5 years?? @KateCavanaugh | Uploaded January 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
Oh insecurities, how I loathe thee. I found a years-old video of mine where I spiraled about 6 big story and writing insecurities and it's now time to see if I've improved!!! (Or if they still plague me.)
0:00 Hello Baby Kate & a quick chat on how creativity works and "wasted" efforts.
2:21 Am I trash at world-building? Is my fantasy voice even any good? (A querying conundrum.)
4:13 Big casts of characters & can you simply "beat" insecurity by changing your goal??
6:23 Write. Publish. Release. (Except when you don't want to?? Lolol.)
8:09 "Sometimes we just need people to read our work."
9:19 Co-writing is hard.
10:49 Research is also hard. (And learning to outline mysteries lol.)
12:28 THE ANSWER IS TIME (and practice).
14:27 "Insecurities" I still have & questions for youuu!
☟↓ QUESTIONS FOR YOU BELOOOOOW! ↓☟
D I S C U S S I O N Q U E S T I O N S :
What are your writing insecurities? Do you have specific story (or genre!) insecurities?
How do you feel your writing has improved in the past five years? Do you have any that have been solved with time or by changing goals?
Do you have specific aspects of your writing you'd like to say you're better at in the NEXT five years?? What are you doing to make that a reality?
