INSECURE WRITERS SUPPORT GROUP APRIL 1, 2026

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

 'IF YOU HAVE A PLAYLIST (OR COULD PUT ONE TOGETHER) THAT GETS YOU IN THE GROOVE TO WRITE OR FITSCWITH ONE OF YOUR BOOKS, WHAT IS IT? WHAT TYPE OF MUSIC OR WHAT SONGS?'

Not being funny, but it really does depend on the scene being written. Romance requires romantic music, raunchy deserves 'you can leave your hat on', fighting goes for action songs, then you have villain’s music ad angry woman playlists. 

Sunny day music for hazy days, rainy night in Georgia or in on tin roofs for nights staying out windows.

So for me, I have so many lists on Spotify...soundtracks, and playlists I put together.

Blogging A to Z Challenge

I haven't done one of these in a while and wasn't sure if I would even be able to come up with something for this year's, so then I thought about how when I started Inwish I'd have known what to do with a blog, and thus the idea was born and fermented, writing about how to set up an Authors Blog.

I can't wait to get started, and hope you will all come along and participate...

A2Z Blogging Challenge theme Reveal

Are you ready...

As we all know, in the marketing of an Author and their books, a blog is still a handy platform to have.

So this year I will be tackling Blogging, as in the AtoZ of it. 

Wish me luck.

Looooong time no write!

 

Hello fellow writers, authors and readers.

Hasn't it been an absolute age since we last chatted? How have you been? How is your writing career progressing, what have you published?

Me? I got Enhanced finally done and up on Amazon, and begun editing Vampire (3rd Novel). 

Writing has slowed down, mainly because I started volunteering as social media person, with the Nenagh Womens Shed, and prepping for a move to a council house in Nenagh.

We are also participating in two weddings, and heading to Rome in September. 

Life is busy and I'm seeking balance.

August 6 question - What is the most unethical practice in the publishing industry?

Oh that is a tough one, in my opinion the whole situation with getting in the traditional publishing door, or rather NOT which leads to vanity or self publishing where an author can end up getting fleeced. 

I dont know if its true but I did read on a post some place that some publisers wont look at you if you dont have followers, or if you write minority characters. Then there is the question of Fantasy Fiction aimed at grown ups, and being a female writer in some genres.

Personally I self publish.
