It’s time
for another IWSG (Insecure Writers Support Group) post. IWSG is an online group
of writers which posts on the first Wednesday of every month. In our posts we
discuss everything related to writing, grumble to our heart’s content, freely
discuss our writing insecurities and worries. Other writers who were in the
same boat as us, but have now managed to get out of it and are sitting on the
publishing shore, help us out with their suggestions and advice.
This wonderful group was started
by Ninja captain Alex J Cavanaugh (author
of the Amazon Bestsellers: CassaStar, CassaStorm, CassaFire and Dragon of the
Stars). Under his able leadership IWSG has gone from strength to strength, it
has published few anthologies. The IWSG website is full of writing information
and now finds its place in Writer’s Digest 19 Annual 101 Best Websites for
Writers and has also hosted its first twitter pitch contest on 27th July.
That’s our Ninja Captain for you.
The IWSG September 6th question
is: Have you ever surprised yourself with your writing? For example by trying a
new genre you didn’t think you would be comfortable in??
Yes. I’ve just written a romance novel for adults, after years of writing
middle grade and I’m surprised by my own writing. While doing my second draft I
was quite impressed with my writing and myself and I enjoyed the new genre and age group.
I’m
eager to read all your posts and find out whether you all are impressed with
your writing.
P.S.
I’m posting a day late because the Internet was down from the past few days due
to heavy rains in my area. It has just resumed five minutes back.
