IWSG July 2025

 


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 latest newsletter here.

Our awesome co-hosts this month are:   Rebecca Douglass, Natalie Aguirre, Cathrina Constantine, and Louise Barbour!

The optional question for this month is: Is there a genre that you’d really like to try  writing in and haven’t yet? Do you plan to?

Yes. And yes, it's already in progress.

Every writer generally writes whatever poem or story stirs the inspiration enough to bring a story to glorious life. I didn't start writing to write exclusively for children, but for a time, it seemed I had. It didn't occur to me that I had written an adventure for children or a mystery for young adults until I had. Good thing I have so many good folks around to tell me what I'm doing; "Hey, did you ever finish that mystery you were writing? And "How's that memoir coming along?"  

Should I be worried that no one has asked about the ghost yet?

How's your journey?

  1. It's great you're already trying out a new genre you're interested in. And it's good you have people around you reminding you to finish them.

    1. Ha! It's really a lot of fun. Miss Cassie's Mister isn't as invisible as he thinks he is.
      Happy July!

  3. Haha! It's like when I was a teen & friends would come lean over my shoulder to look at the pictures I was drawing, then started asking questions about what it was. That seriously annoyed me. I told them to go away and come back when it was finished. =)

    1. I don't blame you, Crystal. One should never disrupt the concentration of an artist - unless you're a cat ;-) You must be very good to have piqued their interest so much!
