IWSG January 2026

 


Welcome, readers, writers, authors, and bloggers!

We're glad you're here! It's the First Wednesday of the month; when we celebrate IWSG Day in the form of a blog hop featuring members and guests of the Insecure Writer's Support GroupFounded by author Alex Cavanaugh (Thank you, Captain!) and fostered by like-minded associates, IWSG is a comfortable place to share views and literary news as we record our journeys. Check out our monthly newsletter here.

The awesome co-hosts for this month’s posting of the IWSG are:  Shannon Lawrence, Olga Godim, Jean Davis, and Jacqui Murray!

 Today’s entirely optional question: Is there anything in your writing plans for 2026 that you are going to do that you couldn’t get done in 2025?  

Oh, absolutely! Don’t know that I will, but I’d like to finish two novels and compile, create, and publish a book of short stories that have been languishing in my Children’s file for far too long.  It will be fun catching up with my illustrator. I swear, she got better (as if that were possible) once she had her own children. But she got a lot busier, too 😉

First and foremost, this year, I’ve resolved to take care of my vision. It’s terribly important.

What’s on your agenda for this year? Are you starting anything new? Have you ever worked with more than one editor at the same time? 

Here's to wonderful beginnings!
