Welcome to the Insecure Writer's Support Group. IWSG is the brainchild of Ninja Captain Alex J. Cavanaugh.
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! Thanks, Alex, for starting this group and keeping it going. We are rockin' the neurotic writing world.
Our Twitter handle is @TheIWSG and hashtag is #IWSG
The awesome co-hosts for the April 3 posting of the IWSG are Janet Alcorn, T. Powell Coltrin, Natalie Aguirre, and Pat Garcia!
April 3 question - How long have you been blogging? (Or on Facebook/Twitter/Instagram?) What do you like about it and how has it changed?
Blurb: Abducted from her research station, Liz’s life is flung into chaos. Sold into servanthood for her knowledge of planetary mining to a race called the Stren, she discovers her problems go far deeper. She is to marry her alien master, Krist, after enduring a procedure designed to eradicate her emotions.
Desperate, Liz persuades the Stren to grant her the duration of a short voyage to change his perception of emotions. But how can she convince someone lacking feelings of their value? Is there a means of accessing the emotional side of Krist?
The Alien is the 4th book in the IN DARKNESS series. All books in the series are available on Amazon.

Thank you for sharing my latest!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Diane on her new release. I've been blogging since 2011 too. I'm sorry your husband has dementia. It's okay that your blogging and writing is on the back burner for a while while you spend time with him. That's what's most important. You can pick up your writing and blogging more when you have more time.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Natalie. I keep telling myself that.
DeleteSorry those issues have dealt a blow to your writing. We hope you continue to connect with us through the IWSG.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Alex. I appreciate your support.
DeleteHi, here's Pat Garcia, I am sorry about the personal issues you're going through. That is rough. I know because my husband had dementia too. I was caught up in his personal care and had very little time to write. So I wrote when I could. I'm glad I did that.
ReplyDeleteTake care of yourself. Shalom shalom
Congratulations to Diane on her new release.
ReplyDeleteFrom the looks of it today, many of us started blogging around the same time. Long live the bloggers. :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your new release, Diane!
You're so right. Isn't it fun to know the author whose book you're hosting? I love that.

You were the one to push me into social media all those many years ago and though I grumbled plenty, I certainly don't regret it - especially during the isolation months when blogs and emails made me feel less alone. You rock, my friend!!
ReplyDeleteI know you've had stuff going on at the home front. Yet, you still found time to host a fellow writer. The blogging community stays strong because of people like you.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your latest, Diane. :-)

I get it about the pandemic. I didn't lose family to it, but family like friends and neighbors. The cost of Covid still weighs heavy. Thanks for coming by my blog.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear about your husband diagnosis. That's hard news to get. Focus on being with him and take care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about your husband's diagnosis. I hope you're giving yourself lots of grace about your writing. The pandemic plus a devastating diagnosis is a lot to cope with. I'm on a bit of a break myself, and I'm trying to let go of the guilt and just live and enjoy my life. I hope you're able to do the same.
