It’s the first Wednesday in March (already!) and time for another Insecure Writer’s Support Group Post<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Purpose:<\/strong>\u00a0To share and encourage. Writers can express doubts and concerns without fear of appearing foolish or weak. Those who have been through the fire can offer assistance and guidance. It\u2019s a safe haven for insecure writers of all kinds!<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The awesome co-hosts for the March 1 posting of the IWSG are\u00a0Diedre Knight,<\/a>\u00a0Tonya Drecker,<\/a>\u00a0Bish Denham,<\/a>\u00a0Olga Godim,<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0JQ Rose!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

March 1 question – Have you ever read a line in novel or a clever plot twist that caused you to have author envy?<\/strong><\/p>\n

How about whole book envy?<\/p>\n

Yes, there are authors who have the ability to make words sing. Lots of them. If I started listing them, I’d get in trouble for forgetting others.\u00a0 So, I’m going to mention only a couple that are lesser known. (And still alive and writing)<\/p>\n

First, my friend Cornelia Amiri. She has a way of making old Celtic myths come alive.\u00a0 She writes other themes too, but I think I know where her heart is.<\/p>\n

Jenna Bennett Is another author I admire. She has a way of tackling tough subjects wrapped up in mystery and romance. Plus, she can throw a plot twist at you and you never even notice.<\/p>\n

One more. She writes under a variety of pen names, but I first knew her as Jesse V Coffey. She inspired me to start writing fiction.<\/p>\n

That’s it for today. Be sure to check out some of the other insecure authors by following the links below.<\/p>\n

As always, until next time, please stay safe.<\/p>\n
