Welcome to the Insecure Writers Support Group, August edition. Alex Cavanaugh leads the band of fledgling, fun writers. Join us HERE . And now for the two-part IWSG question of the month! What was your very first piece of writing as an aspiring writer? I never anticipated becoming a writer. But when my psychologist career took a downturn in 2007, I got hooked on the TV show Prison Break . The dark themes and conspiracy theories of the show echoed my own gloom at the time, I guess. I stumbled across a section on the Fox discussion board: Fan Fiction . "What's this?" I thought. I read some stories and shook my head. "What LOSERS are writing stories about TV characters?" Fast forward a couple of months and I started writing my own fan fiction! The first piece was laughable in its inept writing. I was lucky for kind TV fans who encouraged me. I decided to write a Prison Break story about what I knew: swimming. My writing style was bloated, but some read...

Welcome to the Life's a Beach Hop, hosted by The Mommy Island and The Kids Did It . The beach is one of my favorite locations! As a former college swimmer, I like to swim 30 minutes in one direction then turn around and head back to my starting point.

In addition to a gift card, I'm giving away an ebook of my college swimming romance STREAMLINE, set at the beaches of Pensacola, Florida.

Happy May, writers. Time to discuss our hopes and fears. Join us at Alex Cavanaugh's blog . The amazing  co-hosts for the May 4 posting of the IWSG will be   Stephen Tremp,   Fundy Blue,   MJ Fifield,   Loni Townsend,   Bish Denham,   Susan Gourley,   and   Stephanie Faris! We writers find inspiration in the strangest places. For me, Pinterest is top on my list. I'm addicted to Pinterest, I must admit. I like to create a Pinterest board when writing to collect images and websites that relate to the story. For my work in progress SPIKED (Blocked #3), I've pinned these images: 1) Volleyball T-shirts (the heroine from Blocked has quite a collection) 2) Bad pickup lines (How Mateo gets Jessica to laugh) What inspires YOUR writing? What's the worst pickup line you've heard?

Holla, writers! Good to see you for the Insecure Writers Support Group started by Alex J Cavanaugh. Join us HERE to share insecurities, worries, tips, and celebrations. Let's talk research . How do you research unfamiliar topics to increase the authenticity of your writing? My WIP Spiked (Blocked #3) has two main characters: * Mateo is a music performance major with diabetes * Jessica is an art major on the varsity swim team I have part lungs, part gills after swimming all my life, so I'm good with that aspect of the story. But I know very little about the intricacies of music , art , and diabetes . Thank goodness for Professor Google. For this story, I've consulted the inter webs for ideas about college curriculums, acoustic guitars, and the Secret Service. Of course there's a lot of crap on the internet, but I try to verify information with two or three sites. Human capital is awesome for research, too. Lovely reader Nelly Guajardo guides me...
