The amazing co-hosts this month are Ronel Janse Van Vuuren, Pat Garcia, and Liza @ Middle Passages!
The optional question this month is – If for one day you could be anyone or *thing* in the world, what would it be? Describe, tell why, and any themes, goals, or values they/it inspires in you.
You know, this question stumped me a bit. I don’t know if there’s another person or thing I can imagine I’d want to be for a day. So, take this song as offering instead. See you next month.
It’s time for another Insecure Writer’s Support Group (IWSG) monthly posting. Our awesome co-hosts for February are Joylene Nowell Butler, Louise Barbour, and Tyrean Martinson!
The optional question this month – Is there a story or book you’ve written you want to/wish you could go back and change?
Not yet. I am completely unable to leave a story alone. I have written and rewritten every story I’ve written since I began seriously writing. I’m completing my upmarket thriller for the third time at the moment. I’m currently on submission for my YA fantasy series. When it’s in print, I may have a different answer.
Time for the first post of The Insecure Writer’s Support Group (IWSG) of 2025. Woo-hoo!
Our awesome co-hosts this month are Rebecca Douglass, Beth Camp,Liza @ Middle Passages, and Natalie @ Literary Rambles!
The optional question is — Describe someone you admired when you were a child. Did your opinion of that person change when you grew up?
Ooh, this is another tricky one. I definitely had a variety of both real-to-me people as well as celebrity people whom I admired at one time or another, but I can’t describe one specific person. Admiration is as fickle as an adolescent brain in my opinion, and unless I truly know someone deeply, I rarely commit to admiration in depth. I do admire it when I see someone exhibit strong character traits in a moment, though. Character matters a lot to me.
That’s a lot of words to basically say no one person sticks out as much as the general sense of people doing good things, respecting others even when no one was looking, sacrificing themselves for a larger good or goal, and building rather than destroying.
Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on your worldview, this can be a fast track to disappointment as the totality of the crap we accept comes into focus. But, it can also prove enlightening as what I value becomes clearer every day.
Have a great month!
It is time once again for The Insecure Writer’s Support Group (IWSG). The co-hosts for the November 6th post are Deidre Knight, Lisa Buie Collard, me, and JQ Rose!
November 6 question: What creative activity do you engage in when you’re not writing?
I have occasionally dabbled in photography, but my primary creative expression is writing.
I leave you with a song.
It is the time once again for the Insecure Writer’s Support Group (IWSG) post. The awesome co-hosts for the October 2 posting of the IWSG are: Lisa Buie Collard, Dierdre Knight , JQ Rose , and me. Although, there was a bit of a mix up. ,
October 2nd question – Ghost stories fit right in during this month. What’s your favorite classic ghostly tale? Tell us about it and why it sends chills up your spine.
Ghostbusters. It’s light-hearted and not so scary. I can be a chicken about ghosts without loads of humor piled on. So … Stay Puffed Marshmallow Man. 😉
