Here’s my October contribution to the Insecure Writers who are slogging through this amazing writing life with me.
Bless you for being here. Be sure to visit others in this hop.
And bless people like Erich Fromm who have words that help.
“The task we must set for ourselves is not to feel secure, but to be able to tolerate insecurity.”
Just wait until December if you want to see some INSECURITY on this blog!
This is a Blog Hop!

I think I need to make the Fromm quote scroll across my desktop.
Great quote, Lee! Thanks for the support. All of us (especially those in the query trenches) need all the encouragement we can get. 🙂
Short, sweet and packs a punch!!
That's an awesome quote! It's pretty hard to make insecurity go away. You might as well learn to deal with it 🙂
I love that quote. I should stick it on my wall.
Hi, thanks for following me…I'm now following you. And yes, what's happening in December?
This was one of the best lessons of my life–learning that it is possible to tolerate being uncomfortable. That I don't have to try to fix it or smother it or pretend it isn't there. I can just be uncomfortable until it passes–as it will.
What a great quote! Thank you for sharing… I'll be checking back to see this foretold insecurity arise…
December? That's like waiting for Christmas!
Oh, a teaser! What's happening in December?
Great quote!
You shouldn't be insecure because you are an AMAZING writer. 😀 But I know it's easier said than done. *sigh*
Loved the quote – I find I have no choice but to tolerate a lot of things… 🙂 Good luck for the month ahead. X
@Kyra Thanks for the visit.
@Natalie Always great to see you here.
@Barbara I agree with you 100%
@Elizabeth we must be twins!
I should be a master of insecurity! I've suffered from it most of my life.
Ahhhh. I like that quote. I don't mind insecurity, but I sure like having people to share it with. 🙂
Great quote and picture.
Heh, that's a great quote!
