Hello my Insecure Writers Support Group, and happy 2024. I saw the new year in by watching six episodes of Person of Interest. Now I’m hooked.
Hey, I’ve missed you!
I’ve rejoined IWSG and hope to ease my way back into blogging.
This is what we’re all about:
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. We talk about our doubts and the fears. We discuss our struggles and triumphs. We also offer a word of encouragement for others who are struggling.
Our Twitter handle is @TheIWSG and hashtag is #IWSG.
The awesome co-hosts for the January 3 posting of the IWSG are Joylene Nowell Butler, Olga Godim, Diedre Knight, and Natalie Aguirre!
Our optional question this month is a good one and I’m interested in how others answer it.
Do you follow back your readers on BookBub or do you only follow back other authors?
In a nutshell, if someone follows me, I’ll follow them. Unless they’re some weird person claiming to be a doctor and/or wearing a uniform. You know, those guys who hang out on FB and Instagram?
That’s my answer. I’ll be back in a day or two with a new blogpost. Hopefully, I can make this a habit … again.
Once again, Happy New Year!
Hi
Doctors here are all on strike anyway.
Official,gov.uk advice is not to get ill or do anything dangerious.
Cue a family and friends Adventure Day, down rabbit holes, to a tea party and in search of Brisingamen.
Will look out for the blog.
Esther.
Happy New Year, Esther. Thanks for stopping by and watch out for ‘fake docs’ on social media!
Happy New Year! Yes, I follow all except for clear scammers, bots, or fake doctors too.
Hi Nick, good to see you again. Lots of fakes out there. Happy New Year to you and yours. Have a good one!
Glad you are back with the IWSG!
Thanks Alex. I really have missed the group and glad to be back. Sorry I had such a weak posting this go around. I’ll find my groove.
Happy 2024 to you!
A doctor in uniform??? I’m so glad I’m not on Facebook.
Hey Olga, thanks for stopping by. Maybe I should have just said “men in uniform” but yeah, Facebook and Instagram have a deluge of men in uniform who want to “be friends.” Hope you have a wonderful 2024!
Happy New Year and welcome back! I get so many scammers, too. Ugh. So glad for my junk filter, but some still get through. Ok- I’m curious enough that I’m going to check out Person of Interest.
Hi Miffie, thanks for popping in. Sorry I didn’t have more to offer in this post. Hubby and I have been watching Person of Interest every night. It might not be your cup of tea — a vigilante sort of series and totally unbelievable.
There are certainly enough of those weirdos on Facebook!
Hi Diane, thanks for responding to my puny offering. Hope you’re doing well and have a fabulous 2024.
