#IWSG - June is bursting with IWSG news!

The Insecure Writer’s Support Group
 
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!

Every month, we announce a question that members can answer in their IWSG Day post. 
Remember, the question is optional!!!
 
June 7 Question: Did you ever say “I quit”? If so, what happened to make you come back to writing?
Alex's awesome co-hosts for June will be JH Moncrieff, Madeline Mora-Summonte, Jen Chandler, Megan Morgan, and Heather Gardner!


Did I ever say, "I quit!"? Yep. Numerous times. I think about it a lot when I get down on myself and sales are non-existent and the end of my edits seem too far away. Of course, I lose the most if I let myself quit. It would never make me happy. I'd always wonder, "What if?". So, I keep going. I keep moving forward. I keep writing.
 
***
Official announcement for the IWSG's next anthology!
 
Guidelines:
The IWSG Guide to Writing for Profit--This will be a non-fiction book like our Guide to Publishing and Beyond.
What to write: Share experiences about making a profit as an author, what it takes to become a successful writer, the many skills a writer needs to learn other than writing, share the experience going from hobby writer to published author (without making it a self-promotion piece), the fallacies behind writing for profit, the little known facts learned along the way, what you wished you knew when you first started writing, or marketing tips based on experience of what has worked and what hasn't. Please include a title, your name, and a link to one of your sites. Send as an attached Word file or pasted into the email.
If you have any questions, email us at admin AT insecurewriterssupportgroup.com

Word limit: 500-1000 words.

Submission eligibility: All members of the IWSG Blog Hop, IWSG Facebook group and/or members of our IWSG Goodreads Book Club. It's free to join any of these groups and a great benefit to be a part of these communities.
Deadline: July 31, 2017

Send your piece to admin AT insecurewriterssupportgroup.com as an attached Word document and note which IWSG group you belong to. Please include your name, a one line bio, and one website link.

The one hundred best entries will be included in the book.

Don’t forget our first Twitter pitch event, #IWSGPit, is on July 27. We have a lineup of publishers and agents who will be tuning in that day and more are added every week. See the site for details and start working on your Twitter pitch.

The IWSG Goodreads Group is in full swing and already read their first book. As a bonus, members got to ask the book’s author questions and you can read about it on Goodreads. This group is for writers only, focusing on the craft, so please join us.

The IWSG Newsletter is packed with great information and valuable links every month, so if you haven’t signed up, please do so.

Doesn't anyone dust in here?

So, I un-intentionally took a few weeks off from the blog. I tried to pinpoint the moment in my mind when I decided to take a hiatus, but I couldn't come up with one. Must have been one of those things I needed to do, so I just did it. :)

Miss you all. Hope you're well.

It's officially June. Yay and Not-Yay.

June means my son is almost out of school, which is great because I hate school, but that means The BOY will be here every single day for like 2 months.

June means the beginning of parade season and Carnival which aren't bad times, just busy.

June means better weather. I hope. We could see our breath outside the other day, we had a thunder & lightning storm that we usually only see in the heat of the summer, we had a F1 tornado touchdown 2 counties away, and at the same time, I have a maple tree in the yard changing to fall colors. (No, the environment is absolutely fine.)

Let's hope we make it through June alive and well. :)

I'm off to do something stunning. Make sure you tune in next week for the IWSG posting day on the 7th! There's a special announcement!
