I just stumbled onto the IWSG -Insecure Writer’s Support Group- the Blog hop. The point is to write a blog post that will point back at the IWSG and all the other writers who post the first Wednesday of each month for the next year.
I just saw this so I am squeaking in under the wire; for me, it is nearly 10pm.

I participated in NaNoWriMo, joined writers groups, entered contests, wrote for myself and decided to write a novel. That novel was slipped back on the shelf and labeled ‘next year’ after a couple of accidents, family issues and health problems. I even stopped adding to my blog a few years back.
Now…today, this moment I am back to writing for myself. That novel I want and ‘need’ to finish, that book of poetry (with its muffled screams) needs to be compiled, while I develop organization skills (can you hear the laughter) finish classes and read the books I have piled around me hoping that their words, all those hours their writer’s sweated, bemoaned and worried over, will rub off on me.
In five years I want to have written a novel a year. Posted on my blog every week. Gain so many twitter followers that one of my tweets will go to millions. (Wait I should read the rule on this post again- dreams and desires…nope! Insight, yes, I can see this under insight-lets keep with that.)
Today, I will start with this first step; release self-doubt and write daily.

Welcome to the IWSG! I’ve found it to be such a great group of supportive folks and I’m sure you will too. I laughed at your description of your book of poetry’s muffled screams 🙂
Nice to meet you Ellen. Thank you for stopping by and commenting. 🙂

Hey, dream big. A million Twitter followers can really spread news of a book release.
Hi, Alex
I can only hope for a million. Thank you for stopping by.
All good goals (though the million Twitter followers–every writer’s dream!). Love the passion.
Thank you for commenting, Jacqui!
