Eliza's Panic Attack

FearOfFailure_014-730

Inspired by this post by @moonrat:

Tip for writers: try VERY HARD to let go of the fear of failure; it doesn't gain you anything.

Excellent advice! I'm going to do my best to take this to heart.

I love this Comic Strip and all of the others that you have on your site. Thanks for sharing them too.

I love your Nano comics! This one was great too, because it comes with a message: Don't doubt yourself. Great work!

I really luv the comics as well! But sometimes the characters get way too aggressive.

Thanks so much for all your comic strips, Debbie! From one writer to another, I really appreciate the humor, inspiration and encouragement.

Peace!
Katie

Loved your strips! =) Great site, became my new procrastination spot XD

December 29, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterFilipe

Haha, that is definitely me.
Sometimes I abandon projects either because I get bored with them or I'm afraid they aren't good enough.

Are you going to stop posting Will Write For Chocolate? Because you should not! It is really good. I want to see more of Eva and Mimi.

Hahaha, I truly love your comic strips, Debbie! And you hit the nail on the head with this one. Very clever. I've posted it to Scribblerati's internal blog and linked back to you here. Would love to post your comic strip to either Scribblers On The Edge (prepublished Scribblers) or Scribblers Gazette (published Scribblers) on a regular basis. Are you interested in having your own spot on one of those? Let me know...

I love all of your comics! In fact, I've read all of them several times--my little way of procrastinating for while :) All of your work is so great--funny and exaggerated, and yet weirdly true to life. Thank you for putting your work out there, and please continue!

glad to see the "am I a fraud?" question is on everyones mind!

Love seeing your comic strip in the writing magazines. Go public with it and get it in the newspapers-say on the weekends. Keep up the good work!!! Loved the one where your writer sold her computer and bought a typewriter. I learned to type in high school (1959-1962) and I've never been sorry I did. What I'm waiting for now is classical music on IPods and Zunes.

This is how I feel everyday, lol!!

Hey, are you going to keep this comic up? I just discovered it yesterday and immediately went and wasted my afternoon reading through all the archives only to find that you haven't updated since October...Please keep it up! This is definitely one of the best comics I've ever read, and I really want more. ^_^
