The awesome co-hosts for today are Sarah Foster, Joylene Nowell Butler, Lily Eva, and Rhonda Albom!
September 3 marks the three year anniversary of the IWSG monthly posting. (And October 1 will mark the one year anniversary of this site and the Facebook group.)
It’s incredible to think that a simple idea (of mine, no less!) could expand into something so amazing. I couldn’t have foreseen the monthly postings catching on like they did, nor did I envision a website. (Or a Facebook group of over 1200 members – I’m not even on Facebook!) The support and encouragement you show one another is heartwarming. It motivates and encourages me!
So in celebration of the anniversaries and YOU, we have a surprise and opportunity for everyone next month. Be sure to check back on September 3!
Anyone else surprised we're coming up one three years of posting?
Congratulations on this great milestone! I'm not surprised at all, as it is a wonderful idea and group of people. Thank you for coming up with the idea in the first place. The group has really helped me a lot.
ReplyDeleteThree years is a long time. I think the members will be happy with what we have planned.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! And, no, I can't believe it's been three years. That's fantastic!! Thank you for sharing your idea with us and the world. It's a wonderful, monthly gathering and it really does help! ~Jen

ReplyDeleteHmm, in a way I'm surprised the group is hitting 3 years already, but in another way it's hard for me to remember the blogging world without it.

Wow, that's amazing! I don't do monthly posts, but I really enjoy reading them. The writer community is the absolute best, and I'm so glad these posts exist!
ReplyDelete3 years of awesomeness. It really is amazing, but such a great group. Some of the authors have really come a long way, too.
ReplyDeleteWow. Three years? I don't remember when I joined, but it was pretty early on. It certainly doesn't feel like 3 years.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the upcoming milestones. Insecure Writers Support Group is a terrific service and one to be proud of.
ReplyDeleteWow, I didn't know it had only been 3 years. This group is so strong, supportive, and influential that I assumed it had been around for ages. I'm so delighted to be a part of this group and hope the celebratory surpize is just as cool as this group.
ReplyDeleteWow, three years? CONGRATS!
ReplyDeleteWow is it three years already? Have I been lurking for that long? Why did it take me so long to join!!?
