The Insecure Writer’s Support Group ~ No#7

by Michelle Wallace on July 4, 2012

Well, I don't have much to say today. But I do not want to incur the wrath of a certain Ninja Captain… so here's my short contribution. But before I forget – to my fellow bloggers – hope you had/have an awesome 04th July…

I'm still insecure… yep that's me…

Nothing has changed much in that respect

Sterling show of support in the blogisphere spurs me on… keeps me going

Empowering myself is the name of the game

Challenges/prompts keep me on my writerly toes

Uphill process – but the unity is unbelievable

Reaching out to fellow bloggers/writers… rest assured I'll get there!

Eventually

Head over to the IWSG to check out some rants and raves from a group of fabulous writers!

Yep, without moral support, I don't think I'd have improved as much as I have…

I tried to keep it as light as possible, so as not to come across as too negative.

I really like that. I'm insecure too and there is a great support system in the blog world.

Thanks Teresa! Yes, I don't know where I would have been if it weren't for the support structure!

I am continually amazed at the friendships and support that I've been able to develop over the last 6 months. April A-Z and IWSG have been a major part of that.

Definitely! The IWSG and April A-Z Challenge, are two wonderful platforms for bloggers/writers to meet and connect with like-minded people!

The wrath of the Ninja Captain!  LOL!  I'm sure Alex got a laugh when he read that.  I'm an insecure writer, too.  I just haven't made it official by joining the group.

I didn't want to upset "the powers that be" *chuckles* You must join us one of these days…

Fun acrostic and so true. My knees would have buckled big time without all the writerly love from my crit partners, betas, and of course Bloglandia.

Reply

michelle July 10, 2012 at 9:31 pm

Thanks Leslie! The support in Bloglandia is truly unbelievable! :)

I love the acrostic and agree with every line.

Thank you Medeia! The acrostic is a line-by-line account of my experience/emotions at present…

I agree with everyone–acrostics rock–especially when they are heartfelt and personal!
 
Bless you and keep writing. (You're like the Little Train that Could!) ;)
