We all have fear in life. Especially writers. We put our heart and soul into our work only for someone (those precious CP's and betas, gotta love 'em, MWAH!) to tear it down. For our own good. I'm thinkin' I must be a loony tune to set myself up for all that grief. I know that some of you are nodding at my loony tune remark. *shakes head*
But we learn from our helpers. I like to call them my helper bees. They show me where I'm missing the mark. They nudge me in the right direction.
So shake those habdabs! (What a bodacious word!)

I'm throwing off those habdabs as we speak, Robyn!
ReplyDeleteThe loops and branches in your 'H' should give a clue to habdaps. A high five is not needed.
ReplyDeleteThe screaming habdabs was a common saying when I was a boy, but sadly it's virtually disappeared as the English language has evolved.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week my friend!
I've never heard of the habdabs. That's why I come here--encouragement AND knowledge! I'm full o' doubts.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of the word, but you are right, it is cool! Happy Monday amigo! :)
ReplyDeleteBig hugs,
Karen
I have never heard that word before - I learned something new today!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great word for an encouraging post. Friends help scare away the habdabs. Looking forward to expanding my vocabulary here.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good word. I had no idea. And with all the habdabs, I believe need more bees of encouragement I think. :)
ReplyDeleteWe used to say 'screaming habdabs' but it meant going mad about something e,g, My Mum had the screaming habdabs when I broke the kettle' so it's not used (in the UK) to mean fear.
ReplyDeleteArrrg! I be waitin' fer the red ink. I'm all a-habdab.
ReplyDeleteI love the word heebie-jeebies!
ReplyDeleteI'm visiting from the A to Z Challenge circuit and your newest follower.
I would like to say to some people, "You little habdab you." And it not mean a good thing.
ReplyDeleteTeresa - Nice to meet you BTW
The habdabs are hard to shake, aren't they? But I'll try to shake them pronto :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome word!! Do we get paid a royalty for inventing new words? :)
ReplyDeleteThey say you have nothing to fear but fear itself. But unfortunately, I have the Habdabs all the time!I'm always talking myself out of doing something for fear of rejection.
ReplyDeleteI think I live in the land of Habdabs...
ReplyDeleteHi Robyn .. I didn't think I'd heard of the word .. but now Paul S mentions it - perhaps long ago!! I had had the habdabs .. and had forgotten - preferring the easier heebie-jeebies ..
ReplyDeleteHabdabs .. is difficult to type too ..
Great word for future reference .. cheers Hilary
Love the word. I'm planning to use it at least once this week!
