IWSG: A Writer’s Many Hats

Hard to believe that February is here. This year the first falls on a Wednesday, which means IWSG Day is here super early! True confessions, I was planning to skip this month due to working several personal deadlines and being busy and stressed. Then I saw this month’s question and thought I can write something […]

IWSG: Advice Is a Form of Nostalgia

First of all, Happy New Year! And Happy IWSG Day! Yes, 2017 is upon us. Maybe that’s why this month’s question of the month is making me think of nostalgia and the (in)famous quote that “advice is form of nostalgia.” Then again, maybe “bad advice” is a form of nostalgia. The question of the month […]

IWSG: Choices, Choices

It’s the first Wednesday, and that means it’s time to post for the Insecure Writer’s Support Group. I know I’ve definitely neglected my blog when the last post I see is also Insecure Writer’s Support Group, a month ago. This group is a great place to share encouragement, tips, and yes insecurities related to being […]

IWSG: November is Here!

I seriously can’t believe it’s November already. After this, one more month to go before 2017. Time is flying for me this year.

IWSG: Ready or Not

This is my monthly post for the Insecure Writer’s Support Group, and I have to confess that this month’s question is really apropos for me. The question is: “When do you know your story is ready?” Honestly, I usually can’t tell, not on my own, because I’ve found I have no clue if a story […]

Celebrate the Small Things!

It’s Friday again, time to celebrate – and better late than ever. I’ve had another long day, got quite a bit done, including the gym, housework, and lots of writing, most of it business writing – which is a phrase meaning writing lots of little things that someone will actually pay me for. Getting paid […]

IWSG: Show Don’t Tell – Evoke

First, Happy IWSG Day! This is the first Wednesday of the month and that means it is time for Insecure Writer’s Support Group Day, where once a month we gather to share our fears, insecurities and encouragement as we walk down this winding writerly road. This month, the question of the month is how we […]

IWSG: In the Beginning

This month for the Insecure Writer’s Support Group, the question of the month is this: What was your very first piece of writing as an aspiring writer? Where is it now? Collecting dust or has it been published? My first novel ever as an aspiring writer is called The Dark Circle and I first started […]
