What Erin Means

You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

Flaky? Ton of energy? Don't stick with things? Jealousy? I think not.

"But for the important things, you pull it together." Okay, that I'll go with. And the active imagination.

My muse?

Found this when I did that last meme:

Your Inner Muse is Urania

You are most like this muse of astronomy. Your head is in the stars, and you look to the future. You give off a heavenly, mysterious vibe. And you're not too bad at predicting the future.

interesting advice on confidence in writing

Over on Men with Pens, Dave Navarro has written How to Feel Consistently Confident About Your Writing. Among other things, he recommends that you

Think back to every good thing someone has ever said about your writing. Write it down, as if it were a quote on the back of a book. Search your email, your personal letters, your blog comments - anywhere that might hold a nugget waiting to be captured. Write it all down (I recommend doing this by hand, because things you write - rather than type - stick in your mind more deeply).

Go, read the rest. Then help yourself feel better about your writing.
