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. Writing wise, I have to be honest, I’ve been pretty down but I always get gloomy-feeling in Fall so I’m used to it, and this too shall pass. My traditional fall humdrums […]

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 […]

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 […]

IWSG: Your Words Made a Difference

This is the first Wednesday in July and therefore it is time to post for the Insecure Writer’s Support Group, where once a month we have this wonderful blog hop to share insecurities, tips, encouragement on the writing journey. This month, the group is asking us all a question: what is the best thing that […]

IWSG: May the 4th Be With You!

AND Happy IWSG Day AND Happy Star Wars Day! Today is also Jane Jacobs and my mother’s birthday. (I only knew the first one because of Google.) Today is also a day for me to celebrate those who made it through the A-Z Challenge and all the inspiration I got personally from that great communal […]

IWSG: Find Your Voice

Well, here is February. Like many people in my local area, I’m a bit cabin-feverish. I’ve managed to dig out my driveway, cutting a path through the snow drifts, but the roads are scary,  reduced to 1 1/2 lanes at unexpected, brake-hitting moments. I find myself only going out when absolutely necessary. I have had […]

IWSG: Another November, Another 1st Wednesday!

Okay, I’m late getting my Insecure Writer’s Support Group post done this month and in my defense, well, I’ve been struggling with what to say. I realized I keep wanting to have some awesome news to report, and there’s none. So I’m still writing, still struggling with the freelancing thing, with depressing rejections for writing […]

IWSG: Stick-With-It-Ness

Here’s my monthly post for the Insecure Writer’s Support Group, where the first Wednesday of every month we get together to share our concerns and support one another in this ongoing writing journey. This month, I feel like – well, there’s nothing astounding to report again. Making tiny amounts of money from writing, not enough […]

IWSG: A Day Late and…

Okay so the official post date was yesterday and it is now Thursday but I was really looking forward to Insecure Writer’s Support Group this month. In my defense we had a minor family emergency that somewhat extended Thanksgiving and also I’m still a bit burned out from all that writing last month. Starting this […]
