When
I started my blog in March 2010, I came across Alex Cavanaugh, a blogger
who was like a Rockstar online. He had a large number of followers and lots of
comments on his blog. I envied him a lot. One day I left a comment on his blog.
Within a few hours Courteous Cavanaugh arrived at my blog and left a return
comment. And therein started our friendship.
Later
I joined IWSG (Insecure Writers Support
Group) an online community of writers posting on the first Wednesday of the
month. In our IWSG posts we discuss all our writing related doubts, fears and
worries. This global group of writers also helps each other out in various way.
November
was the first IWSG post I missed. November 7th was Diwali and also
my book release and with me chasing the courier company who was sitting on my
author copies for 10 days, I completely forgot about IWSG. And when I read Amazing
Alex’s comment saying he missed me, I immediately felt better. Sweet of him to
visit my blog and leave that warm comment.
Ninja Captain Alex
J Cavanaugh (author of the Amazon Bestsellers:
CassaStar, CassaStorm, CassaFire and Dragon of the Stars) started this awesome group that is like a therapy for
writers. Under Rockstar Alex’s leadership (Alex is also a fantastic
guitarist), IWSG has become a force to reckon with: there are monthly
newsletters, contests, anthologies, articles from Industry experts and IWSG has
also hosted several successful Twitter pitch contests. Do visit the IWSG website.
The awesome co-hosts for the December 5th
posting of IWSG are J.H Moncrieff, Tonja Drecker, Patsy Collins and Chrys Fey.
December 5
question – What are the five objects we’d find in your writing space?
The five objects you would find in my
writing space are, my pen, fullscap sheets where I have written the plot points and character details, a glass of
water, my mobile phone and whichever book I’m currently reading.
Eager to read about the
five things I would find in your writing space. Will hop over to your blogs later to
say hi.
