Another IWSG (Insecure
Writers Support Group) has arrived. All writers who live on Earth know what is IWSG,
an online community of writers who post on the first Wednesday of the month. In
our posts we discuss all writing-related issues and sometimes we do grumble a
bit. Visit the IWSG website, its full of information on writing and publishing.
Ninja
Captain Alex J Cavanaugh (author
of the Amazon Bestsellers: CassaStar, CassaStorm, CassaFire and Dragon of the
Stars) came up with this wonderful idea of starting IWSG. In a short span of time, under our resident Superhero
Alex’s leadership who is one of the most generous writers I know, IWSG has
become a force to reckon with in the writing world. IWSG has a newsletter which
keeps the members updated, IWSG has also published several anthologies and has
hosted two Twitter pitch contests.
Psstt…I was contacted by
an alien who lives on Pluto, he wanted to know about our Ninja Captain’s secret
source of energy, and he also wanted to know how to join IWSG. Help me out as I’m
a bit confused, shall I allow him to join?
April 4th question is :
When your writing life is a bit cloudy or filled with rain, what do you do to
dig down and keep writing?
When my writing life is a bit cloudy or filled with
rain, I almost always take a break, either by reading or tackling my freelance
writing assignments. That way though I’m not actively working on my novel, I’m
still writing. And reading subconsciously clears the cobwebs in my head. Disappearing
into another writer’s world always unravels the knots that come while I’m
writing. And taking that small reading break refreshes and energizes me.
I’m looking forward to reading how you all tackle the
clouds or rain that hit your writing.
