There are 5 million book clubs across North Americ

There are 5 million book clubs across North America. And most of them are women only. Women are the primary readers of books sold. That is why there are so many books aimed at women! Why so many book clubs? Is it because women love getting together and be in a circle and explore ideas? Is it we used to gather around the fire? Or because we need to be seen?

(Continued)

At that point, I could have easily given up. But this was a play I had to write, emotionally and spiritually. Plus this was the only time of day I could get it done.
I did everything to make him stop. I ignored him, made jokes at his expense. I got mad. I gave him the famous Deborah Kimmett stink eye. And one time I even hid headphones in my purse and stuck them in my ears, but I could still hear him rattling on about how I was going to go deaf from playing music so loud.
And you know what? Just like my own doubt, he eventually got bored and fell asleep. And I got a play finished. And produced.
But more than that, I learned some valuable lessons by tolerating this man. I have learned that you don't need perfect circumstances to create. You can write anywhere. Anytime.
I also learned to build up my resilience when I was faced with other people’s doubts. Since then many people (mostly people with pants on) have critiqued my creative work. Some of them I am related to. Some actually pay me.
Sometimes I even conjure up the big-bellied relative in the basement and I think if my creativity survived that, it can survive anything.
But my boxer-short-wearing doubt was right about one thing. I am no Margaret Atwood.

When Doubt Shows Up Wearing Boxer Shorts. ( FREE 7

When Doubt Shows Up Wearing Boxer Shorts. ( FREE 7 DAY TRIAL)

In my writing workshops, I talk a lot about the doubt that arises when you sit down to explore your creativity. This is the doubt that says that you can't write. That there isn’t enough time or money. Its merciless fangs dig in and say you're not enough and you’ve never been enough. It tells you that you don’t have enough time or not the right kind of time, or it’s too late for you. Now, it is bad enough if your doubt plagues you, but what about if you have to put up with someone else’s doubt?
This happened to me while writing my first play. My daughter had been born extremely premature and I got commissioned by the Tarragon Theatre in Toronto to write about this harrowing experience. With two small kids at home, there was no quiet space in our rent-controlled apartment for me to work. We certainly had no cash for an office and there was no time during the day to squeeze in my writing practice.
So my dear mother-in-law lent me the use of her basement--a dark hole, with low ceilings and no light and a bad 70’s carpet--which also housed a male relative who was living there because his wife had had enough of him.
He was a financial tycoon who got up every morning at 3 am to deal with the stock market. That meant he went to bed at 7 pm, which happened to be my writing time.
Many nights I never even saw him. But other nights, he kept his bedroom door open and lay on his bed in his boxers with his big bare belly hanging over the waistband and made comments about how I better not think I was Margaret Atwood. (I should be so lucky.)
For some reason, he had a hate on for Margaret Atwood. He rattled on about her at great lengths telling me she was nothing more than a fake. (Actually, there was another F-word in front of the fake.)
He warned me I better not think about writing depressing garbage. He also said I had better understand most people didn't get published or produced. Most artists starve.
It was as if my own inner doubt had jumped out of my head and was yammering at me from the other room. (Read the rest of this story in the next post!)
