Insecure Writer’s Support Group – December

Wow…I’ve just checked back and this is only my third IWSG! I’ve done about one a year: 2011, 2012, and now 2013–just made the cut!

If you don’t know what the bloghop is about, here’s the shtick from the website:

Purpose: To share and encourage. Writers can express doubts and concerns without fear of appearing foolish or weak. Those who have been through the fire can offer assistance and guidance. It’s a safe haven for insecure writers of all kinds!

Posting: The first Wednesday of every month is officially Insecure Writer’s Support Group day. Post your thoughts on your own blog. Talk about your doubts and the fears you have conquered. Discuss your struggles and triumphs. Offer a word of encouragement for others who are struggling. Visit others in the group and connect with your fellow writer – aim for a dozen new people each time. Be sure to link to this page and display the badge in your post.

Let’s rock the neurotic writing world!

Our Twitter hashtag is #IWSG

The awesome co-hosts for the December 4 posting of the IWSG will be Julie Flanders, Heather Gardner, Kim Van Sickler and Elsie is Writing!

Okay…So as every writer knows, you gotta write every day, but you also gotta read every day too (or at least a fair bit). It’s just how it works. Reading is sort of like doing your homework. You learn new words. You get inspired. My insecurity is this: there’s too much to read! Seriously, when I walk into a library, or a bookstore, I see all these great books, and I want to read them all, but I know I’ll never get through a fraction of them (it doesn’t help I’m a slow reader). If there was some way to download books into your memory, I’d be first in line!
