Call for submissions—Insecure Writers

Insecurity feels so familiar for many of us writers. So often, we can be our own worst critics and that can prevent us from writing and trying to get our writing out into the world.

For this week’s call to submission, tell us about a time or times you’ve felt insecure about your writing. Did it prevent you from putting words on the page? How did you get over it?

Be as creative as you want when telling the story. Use the prompt as a guide to describe how insecurity has played a role in your journey as a writer.

Same rules as always:

• If you’re already a writer for CRY, go ahead and submit.
• If you’re not a writer for CRY but would like to submit to this request, let us know and we’ll add you ASAP.
• Be as creative as you want in your submissions. As long as you stick to the topic, we’ll consider it.
• Just because you submit doesn’t mean we’ll post. If you haven’t heard back from us in three days, consider that a pass.
• The deadline to submit is Monday, April 12th, 2021.

Please reach out if you have any questions at all. If you are new to Medium, here’s how you submit a draft to a publication.
