Thanks, Maggie. I’ve run across a few self-delusional Debbies myself in writers groups. They’re easy to spot, but a bit tougher to avoid. 🙂

You’ve touched on a little-talked-about topic and done so in a humorous, but true way. I’ve met a few self-delusional types – at a writing workshop one year, we were asked to bring a passage to share from one of our favorite books. I brought Little Fires Everywhere. One of the men brought and read from his own book – yep, that’s what it looks like.
