IWSG Post Day and Anthology Contest Winners!

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 today are L.G. Keltner, Denise Covey, Sheri Larsen, J.Q. Rose, Chemist Ken, and Michelle Wallace!

Big thanks to our judges – Laura Maisano, Russell Connor, Candace Havens, Dawn Frederick, Alice Speilburg, Michelle Johnson, Kendare Blake, and Lydia Moëd

Plus thanks to my awesome IWSG admins who read every story - Lynda Young Michelle Wallace, Joylene Nowell Butler, Susan Gourley/Kelley, L. Diane Wolfe, and Joy Campbell.

And thanks to everyone who entered! There were some amazing stories, which made our job of narrowing them down for the judges even tougher.

Last month we participated in the A to Z Challenge, posting daily writing inspiration. Thanks to those who stopped or followed us during the Challenge. And a very special thanks to the IWSG admins for going above and beyond last month - Lynda Young, Susan Gourley/Kelley, L. Diane Wolfe, Michelle Wallace, Joylene Nowell Butler and Joy Campbell.

We are switching to Mondays only for the next few months. Our goal is to bring you quality content every week from the admins and guests. We want this to be the best site online for writers and authors.
