Happy February, writers! Join us for our monthly group therapy, hosted by Alex Cavanaugh . Hop over to visit this month's kick-butt co-hosts! Stephen Tremp Pat Garcia Angela Wooldridge Victoria Marie Lees Madeline Mora-Summonte! IWSG Question: What do you love about the genre you write in most often? I write multiple genres so I'll mention one aspect I love about each: Romance -- A spark of attraction that deepens into intimacy provides emotional depth in the story. Suspense -- Torturing my characters by imprisoning them or sicking the Mafia on their tail creates needed plot conflict and hopefully keeps readers turning the pages. Sports -- The pursuit of excellence, against mighty odds, reveals character. Psychology -- Throwing characters into therapy is an ideal mechanism for character development and healing. I'm gearing up for the release of psychological thriller (with suspense and romance) TWIN SACRIFICE on 2-28-18...

Welcome to 2018's first Insecure Writer's Support Group! We're a "safe space" to share our hopes and fears, created by our intrepid leader, Alex Cavanaugh . I'm excited to be your co-host today, along with these witty writers: Tyrean Martinson http://tyreanswritingspot.blogspot.com/ The Cynical Sailor http://thecynicalsailor.blogspot.com/ Megan Morgan https://meganmorganauthor.com/blog/ Rachna Chhabria http://rachnachhabria.blogspot.com/ *This month's question: What steps have you taken or plan to take to put a schedule in place for your writing and publishing? At first, writing consumed me so much that I wrote every day. Now, I only write on weekends (unless I'm traveling). I'm okay with that schedule because I'm too wiped out from the day job to write on weeknights, and no way in hell am I waking up early to write! I also aim for publishing one new release a year. On February 28, 2018, I'm launching ...

Visit today's co-hosts: Co-Hosts:  Julie Flanders, Shannon Lawrence,   Fundy Blue,   Heather Gardner! IWSG Question:  As you look back on 2017, with all its successes and failures, if you could backtrack, what would you do differently? After just getting weighed at the doctor's *gulps*, I would have set up the standing desk I bought. Amazon delivered it months ago and it sits still neatly packed in its box while I sit my life away as a therapist and author. One hour of exercise doesn't counteract fifteen of sitting. Sitting is the new smoking, they say, *coughs* How's your writing? I'm in the exciting phase of writing: preparing for publication! My editor is polishing and my book designer is creating a cover for the launch of  TWIN SACRIFICE . Inspired by a dream, I started this novel in 200...
