Confessions

I have a few things to confess . . .

  • That sweet symbolism in my novels? Yeah. It's either there by luck or accident, but I'll tell you I planned it that way.
  • Insecurity holds my hand like a constant companion, making me all sweaty and a little jittery at times.
  • I'm scared of having a deadline, not having a deadline, signing a contract, not signing a contract, centipedes, Nessie, and standing too close to a microwave.

Most of those confessions, though, are pretty average for a writer. Well, maybe not the Nessie fear. Anyway, do you ever wonder what a priest hears sitting inside his little box? Have I found a site for you . . .

Confessions is a public art project that invited people to share their confessions -- anonymously, of course -- and view the confessions of others. I know, that might make you feel like a creepy window peeper, but the information can be useful for a writer in several ways:

  1. It gives you insight into what makes a human feel super guilty.
  2. It shows you the most common "sins" humans commit.
  3. It's a great story generator when you wonder about the person who wrote the confession.

So if you're bold enough, toodle on over to the site. And if you're not, I've got one more confession to make . . .

I just found out Brentwood's Ward is on sale for $2.99! Snatch up an ebook copy, or share the love and snatch one up for a friend.
