IWSG: My Gutsy Story



Today is the two year Anniversary of Alex Cavanaugh’sInsecure Writers Support Group, a group focusing on encouraging other writers. Please take the time to check out other posts made by the members of this group and if you want to join, you are most welcome!

For two years now I have been a loyal member of this group, posting every first Wednesday of the month, and to be honest with you I am running out of things to say. I feel like I have covered every aspect of a writer’s self-doubt because I have been there first hand. We all have.

Today I want to share my inspiration for taking my writing seriously. I had been writing in a journal for years but my decision to do more started with blogging which led me to Sonia Marsh and my first published story in an Anthology called My Gutsy Story which is now available in hard print on Amazon. My gutsy story was inspired by a post that I had made on my blog called Lost and Found. Many of you may remember the journey we made together as I wrote about the son I had rediscovered and the daughter I was getting to know all over again.

Inspiration is the keystone to following your dream. The ability to share with words your hopes and fears will never let you down. I want to thank every one of you for your encouragement which has led me to be published in 4 anthologies and my own book.

What has inspired you to write?

Congratulations Alex on two years of an amazing group.

Minnie is a bit late this time but she will be here on Friday for those that want to play with words. Until then, have a great week!
