IWSG October 2025 Favorites

 


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: Beth Camp, Crystal Collier, and Cathrina Constantine!

 Today’s entirely optional question: What is the most favorite thing you have written, published or not? And why?      

Great question! And an easy one as well, since one book in particular has been on my mind like a jumping bean; “Me! Pick me!” and in my heart with love everlasting for the little guy for and about whom it was written. The little guy is eighteen now, and while he’s still as curious as he was at two, his Nana doesn’t share every new discovery ;-)


I love everything I’ve written. Not for the purpose of selling them, though some actually have. Sold, that is. I’ve given away more poems than I can count. I dearly love the act of writing. From start to eventual finish, it’s being on my own adventure where all my favorite characters are invited to accompany me. Writing Beanie’s Backyard was my way of chronologically savoring adventures that I was fortunate to accompany him on ;-)

I’m looking forward to your thoughts on favorites.

Happy Writing!

  1. Eighteen years ago? Wow. Although I just now realized it was fifteen years ago for my first. What happened?

    1. Amazing, huh? Writing is the easiest way for me to lose track of time... I happen to know you've been especially busy ;-)

  2. Beanie's Backyard looks like a cute story. I can see why this baby could be your favorite.

  5. I can't say I love everything I've written. Some of it isn't worth reading!

    1. Aw, I bet that's not the case, PJ ;-) Even if we don't share, it feels good to get our words recorded; journals, doc files, manuscripts - even handy napkins!
