Purpose: To share and encourage.
Writers can express doubts and concerns without fear of appearing
foolish or weak. Those who have been through the fire can offer
assistance and guidance. It’s a safe haven for insecure writers of all
kinds!
Posting: The first Wednesday of every month is officially Insecure Writer’s Support Group day. Post your thoughts on your own blog. Talk about your doubts and
the fears you have conquered. Discuss your struggles and triumphs. Offer
a word of encouragement for others who are struggling. Visit others in
the group and connect with your fellow writer - aim for a dozen new
people each time - and return comments. This group is all about
connecting!

I'm convinced that I'm on an FBI watchlist. Okay, maybe I just really hope that if the FBI has been following my crazy Google searches they're fully aware that I'm a writer and not a serial killer.
Honest.
So, what are you Googling?
I thought we could use a few funnies!
Make sure you visit a bunch of blogs to make someone's day!

Top hits of 2007. Yeah, only a writer would care!
ReplyDeleteTruth!!
DeleteHi Alex!!
Heather
Ha, I expressed a similar concern. My crime thriller days are behind me - I realized it's not my forte - but the digital footprint is supposedly there forever. Definitely counts as an insecurity!
ReplyDeleteHilarious graphics! Not gonna lie--I kind of enjoyed alarming my ex with my research into poisons, but the only murders I've carried out were strictly on the page. Happy writing in November!
ReplyDeleteLOL Considering werewolves don't exist, I bet most of that was made up.
ReplyDeleteGood post. Loved the memes.
ReplyDeleteTop hits of 1980 on mine. I have got to get my book published so I can prove I'm a writer, and not just a killer posing as a writer. Oh wait, it's possible to be both, I think.
ReplyDeleteNot so far fetched, being investigated, given the present climate of ‘false news’ and distrust.
ReplyDeleteHahaha—I was going to use a lot of those memes in my post today.
ReplyDeleteHappy writing!
I have a triple whammy when it's comes to being on the FBI watch list. I won't reveal the other two, but my search history doesn't help!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the laughs, Heather! It's that time of night when I needed some! I hope you've had a fun IWSG Day!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I think all writers feel like we must be on some watch list.
