Insecure Writer’s Support Group and Reedsy Creative Writing Prompts

It’s time for another group posting of the Insecure Writer’s Support Group! 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. I encourage everyone to visit at least a dozen new blogs and leave a comment. Your words might be the encouragement someone needs.

The awesome co-hosts for the January 8 posting of the IWSG are Rebecca Douglass, Beth Camp, Liza @ Middle Passages, and Natalie @ Literary Rambles!

January 8 question - Describe someone you admired when you were a child. Did your opinion of that person change when you grew up?

Looking forward to your answers.

Reedsy Creative Writing Prompts Takeover!

The IWSG is taking over Reedsy’s Creative Writing Prompts this week. There is $250.00 at stake!

For our takeover, we’ve created five prompts to kickstart your post-holiday reflection and creativity. We can’t wait to read what you come up with! As a bonus prize, the winner of this contest will be given the opportunity to be featured as a guest on the IWSG blog; share their take on a subject about writing, and introduce their books in print or any works in progress.!

Prompts:
1. Center your story around someone who receives a gift or message that changes their life forever.
2. Create a character who is spending their first holiday alone.
3. Set your story in a place where everything should be familiar to your character(s) but isn’t.
4. Write about an unexpected guest who changes the traditional get-together.
5. Write a story that includes the line “I should have known better.”

Contest ends in a couple days, so hop on over to Reedsy’s Creative Writing Prompts now!

Did your admiration change? Entering Reedsy’s contest? Who is ready for a shiny new year and new goals?
