Sadly, due to work commitments, I have reduced my
blogging days from twice a week to now once a month, restricting my monthly
posting to the first Wednesday of the month which is the IWSG day, because IWSG
(Insecure Writers Support Group) has become an important part of my writing
life.
This wonderful online writers’ group was started by
Alex J. Cavanaugh, the superstar of the blogging world, the Secret Santa and the
Angel in Disguise (I don’t want to say more else Alex will be embarrassed).
Alex’s books: CassaStar, CassaStorm, CassaFire
and Dragon of the Stars are all Amazon Bestsellers. Alex with his amazing team
of dedicated writers has made IWSG a force to reckon with in the writing world.
IWSG has to its credit, writing contests, twitter pitch parties, it has brought
out several anthologies, the IWSG website has informative and helpful
posts from publishing experts.
May 1 question - What was an early
experience where you learned that language had power?
It
was in seventh grade when my English teacher had given us an essay to write,
the topic was Holiday in the Mountains. The reason I remember it so well is
because the teacher had praised my essay, telling my parents that I had
literally transported her to the mountains, with my writing. At that point I
realized that language had the power. And she had also urged my parents to encourage
me to write more.
P.S. Thankyou to the IWSG Team for
making me one of the Official Judges for The 2019 Annual IWSG Anthology
Contest. I’m truly honoured.
