For those of you participating in the IWSG posting on your blogs, today is the day you throw your securities to the wind or offer words of encouragement. If you are a blogger, we encourage you to join us. Full description and sign up HERE.
Open to everyone and anyone with a blog or a Twitter, Google+, or Facebook account.
Help us spread the word about our new site! The Facebook Page is already rocking. Let people know the two ways they can benefit from the IWSG website:
1 - It’s a database of information, focusing on major links, other databases, and resources for writers. Topics include writing tips; publishers, agents, and queries; self-publishing; marketing; contests; publications; and services. Each page is a wealth of information, leading to some of the top sites for authors, and we also post information to help writers every Monday.
2 - The IWSG itself – the first Wednesday of every month is the official posting day for those with blogs. Members post their insecurities, frustrations, and concerns, and others stop by to offer encouragement and advice. The kindness and words of wisdom have kept writers going when they were ready to quit. Many have discovered solutions to their problems. Friendships have been forged and critique partners established.
Help us spread the word –
Tweeting – one entry
Google+ post – two entries
Facebook post – five entries
Blog post – ten entries
We have two prize packages that will be awarded:
Package one - North America only-
Autographed copy of Dead Witness by Joylene Nowall Butler

Alex, I'm very glad to be part of this. One thing (lol) my book's called Dead Witness. Haha, but considering the way I constructed my email to you, I can see where you got the title. Ooy, it's been a weird winter already.
Just tweeted!
I'll tweet now, then get busy on facebook & the blog.
Yay!
Play off the Page
I love contests! The more books on my shelves, the better.
Awesome. Will spread the word.

Joylene, I will fix that!
Hi Alex and Co,
Happy to be here again
Yet another Wednesday to celebrate!!
Happy to note that i just posted this in my fb g+ twitter etc
Hey why don;t you provide a share button in IWSG pages, so that people who visit here can directly post it in their social sites, My December Installment here is on this share button, pl provide one here too so that word can spread fast without individually visiting their social pages
Happy IWSG Time to All my dear friends here,
Best Regards
Phil
