IWSG: Themes

It’s time for another group posting of the Insecure Writer’s Support Group! founded by Alex J. Cavanaugh. Time to release our fears to the world – or offer encouragement to those who are feeling neurotic. If you’d like to join us, click on the tab above and sign up. We post the first Wednesday of every month. Your words might be the encouragement someone needs. You can also join us on twitter using the hashtag #IWSG, or on the Facebook page.

Now, IWSG hosts have changed up the format in an effort to make it more fun and interactive. Every month, they will announce a question that members can answer in their IWSG Day post. These questions may prompt you to share advice, insight, a personal experience or story. Include your answer to the question in your IWSG post or let it inspire your post if you are struggling with something to say. 

Don’t forget to visit others that day to see their answers. Want to join, or learn more? Visit our - Sign-up List.

NOVEMBER QUESTION - As a writer, do you have favorite themes that you like to explore in your stories? If so, what are they?

MY ANSWER - Interesting. I haven't thought a lot about it on a conscious level. I most frequently write nonfiction or romance. My romance probably most often deals with issues of trust and purpose.

How about you? As a writer, do you have favorite themes that you like to explore in your stories? If so, what are they?

A to Z Challenge Reflection

This was the seventh year for this challenge and my sixth time participating. 

I want to thank the Challenge Team and anyone else who participates or helps to make this happen each year. The blogging community has been a great confidence boost to so many of us, and this challenge has led to some great friends and connections. 

I enjoyed this year as much as I have in the past. While I didn't meet as many new bloggers (most people have been participating for several years now) I did have the chance to reconnect with a few who had fallen by the wayside. 

My theme each year is always related to my reading, writing, or publishing in some way, but this years challenge gave me a reason to remember some great times, organize some files, and plan several future projects. So, as usual, I would call this challenge a complete success on several levels.

I would definitely participate again in the future.
