Insecure Writers Support Group 2017

It's 2017! I hope this is the year that brings your dreams to fruition.

It's also the 1st Wednesday of the New Year. January 2017 and time for us to share are insecurities or to give out encouragement. IWSG was started by Alex J. Cavanaugh and has grown into a wonderful writer community. To read other post go here.




January 4th Question: What writing rule do you wish you'd never heard?

I can honestly say not one. Every rule is in place to challenge us to become a better writer. They have certainly made me a better writer. They are all second nature to me now. Alarm bells go off in my head when I break one. But it is possible that I don't know all the rules. I'll be curious to read what others have written.

Today is also the announcement for the winners of the IWSG Fantasy Anthology. When I learn the out come I'll post an update in here since I entered.

If you haven't picked up a copy of my epic fantasy yet, here's your chance at the friendship price of just 99 cents. I'll be redoing the cover and adding a print copy soon and the price will increase to $2.99




Thank you for coming by, Nancy

While I agree that most writing rules help writers become better, there are still a few that annoy me. Like, the rules are hard to implement and require thought. Sometimes when I write I don't want to think. The rules are much better after they have been implemented for a time and are more automatic. It's just getting there that's the problem.

I hope you and yours had a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and are having a very HAPPY NEW YEAR. May we display your header on our new site directory? As it is now, the site title (linked back to its home page) is listed, and we think displaying the header will attract more attention. In any event, we hope you will come by and see what is going on at SiteHoundSniffs.com.

Thank you so very much for giving permission. You can see your linked header under All, Literary and the United States. If you could say something (preferably good) about SiteHoundSniffs.com here and there, we would greatly appreciate it.

Oh, I forgot to add the "P.S." to that thank you. SiteHoundSniffs.com is offered as a completely free service to those listed and visitors to the site. No one listed will ever be hit with a fee. In fact, I hope you and the others will make a little money. For I hope to generate some revenue from outside advertisers after enough traffic comes by, and the plan is to divide 90% of that revenue among those gracious enough to allow their header to be displayed, which makes SiteHoundSniffs look better and easier for visitors to find sites of interest. The money may never happen, but I have hope.
