Welcome, all! You’re just in time for the monthly (1st
Wednesday) on-line gathering of the Insecure Writer’s Support
Group, where you’ll find helpful tips, handy resources, the latest trends
in publishing, and a comfortable place for hundreds of writers – just like you
and I – to share our writing journeys!
Feel free to meander and mingle. Our gracious co-hosts this
month are:
For member news and often funny movie reviews, our founder,
Alex Cavanaugh has it all!
In fact, if not for his thoughtful review, I might not have
watched SHAZAM during our first annual 4th of July Movie Night in
the Woods! There were giggles and snickers all around, and judging by the satisfied
grins, the special recipe S’Mores were the perfect addition.
Then, it was back to the old summer grind; work for most, joyous
play for others, and then there was me, coming to the realization that some
callings are better off missed. For instance, thinking at age 4 that I would
one day be a school teacher. Granted, the odds are stacked against success during
summer break when cellphones and video games are much more appealing. On the
bright side, I am a formidable Hall Monitor ;-)
On an even brighter side, I’ve amassed over 8500 words
(various projects) and read two books. I’ve missed only one submission
deadline, and am looking confidently forward to a few that loom in the near
future!
August 7 question: Has your writing ever taken you by surprise?
For example, a positive belated response to a submission you’d forgotten about
or an ending you never saw coming? Oh, yes! I love sweet surprises. Tortilla Bandits comes to mind.
Unintended endings are as much fun as unplanned beginnings ;-)
But, enough about me. Has your summer been relaxing?
Inspiring? How so?
Happy Writing!
P.S. My computer crashed a week ago. I can't yet upload things like pics and IWSG badges!? sigh.
