Hey fellow writers. It’s the first Wednesday of the month and we all know what that means right? It’s time for another meeting of the Insecure Writers Support Group. #IWSG. My hero, Ninja Captain Alex J. Cavanaugh founded this amazing group of people and it’s become a powerhouse. If you are an insecure writer of any kind, feel free to click on the image to your left and join us. You won’t regret it. From the website:
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!
Before I continue, I’d like to thank this month’s co-hosts for the wonderful job they’re doing zooming around the blogosphere trying to keep up with us and offer up their bits of wisdom and encouragement:
June was hit and miss for me in a few ways. I tried really hard to complete the WordPress Writing-101 Challenge, but haven’t completed them all yet. I’m still going to try though, even if I don’t post them all. I’m still going to try Camp NaNoWriMo this month, but I’m so not going for 50k words. I have a nice little story rolling around in my head that I’m hoping I can complete in less than 15k-20k words.
I’ve written some poetry, although I know it’s not very good yet. I’m still working on it.
All in all, I’m not disappointed, but I’m not exactly thrilled either. I hope August will be better for me. Until next month, keep writing!!
Thank you for following me. I signed up for Writing 101, but I fell behind after the 5th or 6th prompt, so I gave up. Good for you to keep at it. I love your site!

Thanks so much Jane! I’m doing it in bits and pieces. 🙂 I don’t know if I’ll be able to finish the whole thing, but I’m going to try. I appreciate the comment so much. Have yourself a great night.

15-20k is still impressive, with everything else going on. Good luck with Camp!

Good luck with Camp NaNo! I thought about it, but my schedule is too hectic with the kids at home. 🙂

I hear you Melissa; I’m going to try with a much lower word count though. I’m undecided about November; are you planning to participate in November’s NaNo? If you do, let me know. It was all the motivation and encouragement that really helped push me towards the end last year.
Thanks for passing by! Hugs…Eva

I think that’s a great goal. I’m not doing NaNo, but that’s my word goal for the month as well. Good luck and have a great weekend!

I’m actually doing Camp NaNo too. Come find me. I use emaginette there too. We could cheer each other on. I’m aiming for 10k. 🙂

That’s still a good chunk of words for Camp NaNo. Only six hundred a day or so. You can do it!
