IWSG Publication & Encouragement

Wednesday, December 3, 2014



It's time for another posting of the Insecure Writer’s Support Group! Today, and on the first Wednesday of every month, we release our fears to the world and offer encouragement to those who are feeling unsure about their writing.

 If you can, do visit some new blogs as your encouragement may be just the thing a discouraged writer needs. Alex's co-hosts for this month are Heather Gardner, T. Drecker from Kidbits, Eva E. Solar at Lilicasplace, and Patsy Collins.  

Don’t forget to check out the IWSG Facebook group and the IWSG Critique Circle.

Today, I'm sharing words of encouragement from a revered writer.
