Welcome to our sixth IWSG Day of the year, 2023.
IWSG is a writers' support group created and led by Alex Cavanaugh.
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!
This group is an immense help to many of us who do not mind sharing our insecurities and successes or giving others encouragement and support.
So, if you are interested and would like to join, the link below will lead you directly to us.

The awesome co-hosts for the June 7 posting of the IWSG are Patrcia Josephine, Diedre Knight, Olga Godim, J. Lenni Dorner, and Cathrina Constantine!
Submissions: None
IT'S NEVER CROSSED MY MIND TO STOP WRITING
I've never thought about pulling the plug on my writing. That doesn't mean I haven't had some hard times that have knocked me down to my knees to pray. I've even cried tears and licked away the cruel words of people who thought they knew how to engineer my writing life better. But even in these situations, it has never crossed my mind to stop writing. I don't think about something that I don't plan on doing. It's a waste of my energy and my time.
Take care, everyone, and have a lovely month of June.
Shalom shalom
That's great that you've never considered not writing. I have, but I come back to my writing.
ReplyDeleteThen just keep writing!
ReplyDeleteI recently learned of Sophie Hannah. A writer with a positive attitude and an amazing outlook on the world. You're a lot like her, you know. :-)
