June Insecure Writers 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!

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!

JUNE 3 Question: Do most of your story ideas come from one place (the news, dreams, etc.) or do they hit from all over the place?

ANSWER: 

For me the ideas come from all over the place, a song, a book, a movie...sometimes even a stray what if...thought. Then it's a scramble for something to take notes on.

They are allowed to purculate until I absolutely have to write it down and at that it's a throw up draft, everything I know down on paper until it's time to create the outline. 

These ideas usually happen when my mind wants to do anything other than focus on what I'm working on at that time. All these throw ups reside Alphabetically in three A5 ring binders or use at a future time.

Until next time, see you around the web Tww

Hi all, break is over...

 

Hi all, well the A2Z is offically over, as is my break from updating this blog, I can't do posts about how to do an authors blog / website unless I actually did as I preached. 

So today's post is about where I am in my journey, as of writing this I have two novels available on Amazon as ebooks and paperback. My third novel is in its final draft, about 7 chapters in, and on pause as I need to update Word.

The first novel was centred around a Sorceress and her evil step sister, the second about a human who falls through a portal into a world with enhanced beings, the third is based around a Vampire, and Warewolves.

I have about 10+  others in various stages of development. I haven't much feedback on either book yet, but that's ok as some might say I haven't found my audiece yet. 

So that's me...TWW

See ye around the Web.

Insecure writers support group May 6 question - a little late!

 

May 6 question - 

What was the most inspiring feedback you received from readers, including agents, editors, and beta readers?

The most inspiring feedback, is the possitive comments on each post. The worst was an ex who couldn't understand why I wanted to write Fantasy. 

Winner, winner, plus 2027.....

So happy to be done, if you have dropped by let me know how you did.

Here's to next year!

See you round the web
