The Insecure Writer’s Support Group ~ No#21
It's time for another IWSG posting, but this time it's an extra special edition. Yes, we're celebrating the Two Year Anniversary of the Insecure Writer's Support Group.
I'm proud to be a co-host for this month, alongside the following awesome people ——–
Chemist Ken http://hogwartssabbatical.blogspot.com/
SL Hennessey http://pensuasion.blogspot.com/
Joylene Nowell Butler http://cluculzwriter.blogspot.com/
Now I have plenty of insecurities stewing on the back burner, but I wanted to do something different… and after wracking my poor brains, and with the help of my illustrator Reice (hopefully, he can give me some lessons…), I came up with this ———————–
Yes, lets celebrate those insecurities – big and small… old and new… real or imagined… temporary or permanent…
Oh you poor things, haven't you heard? Everybody is welcome to join the IWSG… it's for the published and yet-to-be-published… soon-to-be-published… wondering-when-you-will-be-published… if-you-will-be-published… traditionally-published… self-published…
So let's get this party started!
HAPPY TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY IWSG'ers! And a special thank you to Alex, the brain behind this wonderful group!
Head over to the IWSG to read other posts written by a bunch of fabulous writers.
This was very cute Michelle! Congrats on being part of the special team behind the IWSG website! I can’t wait to see it up and running in October. I’m so excited about all of the great things you’re involved in, including co-hosting this week.
I'm honoured to be a part of the IWSG website admins. It's going to be such a great resource centre for writers. Thanks for visiting Julie. 🙂
I loved the cute drawings. Let's hope those WIP grow fast into Published Works.
The WIP's are such a sad-looking bunch, aren't they? LOL.
Love your post. Thanks for co-hosting this month!
Thank you for co-hosting and thanks for the big welcome! Happy IWSG day!
This is so cute and inviting too! Hurray for IWSG!!!
Best wishes,
Anna

So cute! And what a great to celebrate the two year anniversay! Thanks so much for co-hosting this month! You rock!
Cherie, Molly, Anna, Marta & Beverly – thank you ladies! I'm glad to be co-hosting this month.
Now, that's my kind of post. Give it a little character. Celebrate all parts of being a writer/artist. Why not? It's worth it!
Thanks for being a co-host this month!
I knew this would appeal to your playful nature Mary! 🙂 I'm trying to connect with my "inner child"…
How adorable! Loved it! Thanks for co-hosting!
Super cute drawings!!! Very creative post! 🙂
Thanks Cherie and Jackie! 🙂
Thanks, Michelle! That was awesome. Appreicate you helping by being a co-host this month. And helping with the website!
I'm glad that I can be of service to this awesome online writing community Alex! Thanks for having me as a co-host.
Love this! ^_^
Great mix of art! Visuals and text. Good job, and thanks for co-hosting!
Thanks Krystal & Lisa!
Ah, those poor, lonely, long-lingering WIPs . . . all we can do is promise them it's worth the wait!
Thanks for co-hosting this month, and for lending your support to the rest of us. 🙂
Some of them have been waiting for a long, long time! I know of a WIP who had to endure a 16 year wait… 🙂
Excellent post!! Good to my fellow co-hosts this month and happy two years IWSG!
Woot, woot! Two awesome years. Love the pictures. It makes me want to get out my pencil and sketch something fun up for my blog. Gosh it's been too long since I did something like that. See, Michelle, you're inspiring me.
How cute! Absolutely love the drawings. 🙂
Have fun co-hosting!
Very cool pictures. Like Crystal I'm inspired. And I love the tag line for your blog.
Ha! Too cute! Those WIPs look exactly like the ones wandering around in my head!
Aw, I love the illustrations.
Thanks for co-hosting!
Thank you SL!
Crystal, I've inspired you? Now I'm really chuffed! 🙂
Julie, thank you!
Debbie, well you're the second one I've inspired, just call me Madame Motivator. LOL
Quanie, your spunky attitude shone through in your post – loved it!
Golden Eagle, the illustrations are courtesy of my adorable student. Thanks!
Michelle, you have so much talent! Love the illustrations. Thanks for co-hosting!
Hmmm… Your co-hosting post was much more imaginative than mine. I'm jealous. 🙂
Glad to be co-hosting with you this month.
Joylene and Chemistken, I'm so glad to be co-hosting alongside you awesome people!
Oh, I love those cute insecurities. Most of mine are ugly. One's a monster wearing a familiar face. The newest is a frownie face baby born of rejection. I'm off the list. Thanks for co-hosting! Your post made me smile for the first time today.
You gotta love those characters. I have a bunch of them on my hard drive begging to get out.
Sher and Joy, those insecurities come disguised in all different forms, in all sizes and shapes…
Very cute….I think I fell in there someplace…I am just a writer in progress! I know I did, it is for everyone….I hope to step into another page one day very soon! Sandy
You go Sandy! Just keep on stepping, keep on stepping… that's the spirit!
Adorable!
Happy 2nd Birthday to IWSG <3
Awww. I would be happy to party with those books, whatever stage they're in! All adorable. Thanks for being such a gracious co-host!
Very cool and creative. You rock.
Hahaha – Love it!
Thanks for co-hosting. 🙂
Love it! Let's scan those and make those babies animated!
S.Katherine, thank you!
Kim, party time is party time… doesn't matter who you are… and even WIP's need to party!
Murees & Melissa, thank you ladies!
Mina, bring on the animation, let's light up their lives! 🙂
Yo and delighted y'all are one of the co-hosts of "IWSG" aka "I Was Seeking Gary." Well, that's what my delusional human thinks it means. Maybe he's insecure.
Cute drawings. And congrats on the second birthday of it all. As for me and my human, we'd rather be publically humilated than get involved in it. Still, we wish y'all the very beast, um best! 🙂
Stay chillin'
Snoop Bloggy Dog in Da Gangsta's Pawadise!
From the east to the west, Snoop Bloggy Dog is the best! Now you see, you've got me rhyming… 🙂
Thanks for co-hosting today!
Cool drawings. I do stick figures with hair and call it art, lol. Thanks for co-hosting the 2nd Anniversary of IWSG.
…….dhole
Congrats on co-hosting! And I love the drawings–very nice! I can't draw to save my life, so I always enjoy seeing other people's talent on display 🙂
Alex, it was a pleasure!
Donna, stick figures? So do I, but I'm learning… slowly but surely… dunno how far it'll go…
Lara, I'm trying to learn… it's quite a mission… maybe I should just take a crash course. 🙂
Cute way to do it, and definitely interesting and fresh!
Shannon at <a href="http://thewarriormuse.com/">The Warrior Muse</a>
Love the artwork. Congrats on getting to be a cohost.
That is adorable!! Thank you so much for co-hosting this exciting edition of IWSG!!
Shannon, Donna & Doreen – thank you ladies! 🙂
What cute little pictures! That's nice that you're cohosting IWSG! I've been thinking about joining for about a year. Still haven't done it. Maybe I should!
Come join us Sherry! It's a wonderful platform to vent… and you can keep us entertained with writerly insecurities featuring Bubba and Schultz…
Yay for IWSG! It's helped me so much over the last years. Thanks for co-hosting, Michelle! (I feel like the WIP cartoon was meant for me — it's all my writing complaining I havent touched it in 3 weeks!! :O )
Well, I'm worse than you Lexa… I really need to write more consistently! These writing spurts of mine are not on!
LOL! Love your cartoons! And happy birthday IWSG! Thank you for co-hosting this month, you are rocking the house Michelle! And I love that you are going to help admin the IWSG website! Congratualtions, cause that's going to be awesome and you are going to do such a great job. (: HUGS!!!
As long as it's not techno stuff… *eeeeeeK* You know my techno-challenged status… 🙂
It certainly is one great big happy party MIchelle! What a creative post!
Love the Cassa Crew! Great drawings. And happy birthday to the IWSG. 😀
The drawings are adorable Michelle! Such a welcoming message, too. Great job. Happy weekend.
Great pictures. Hope you enjoyed your time hosting.
Denise, Nick, Deanie & Sam… thanks guys! The above sketches are courtesy one of my helpful students. My drawing abilities are still in the infant stage. Don't know if it will go anywhere fast… 🙂
Very cute comic, and I love the "Cassa Crew". I am always so envious of people who can draw. A couple guys in my writing group are writers AND artists who draw comics, etc. and they are so cool. Your post made me smile 🙂
YAY! Glad you're a co host! And btw congrats on your ezine publication!! 🙂
Great illustrations! I wish I could draw. Thanks for co-hosting this month 🙂
Michelle, very clever drawings and post! I bet you will use your talent to help create a great IWSG website too! Really appreciate all the time you spend on hosting and building the writers' site from the ground floor up. .
Shell Flower, I also envy people who can draw… *sighs* one day… who knows… maybe we'll get there… we can at least try, can't we? 🙂
PK, thanks sistah! 🙂
Annalisa, thanks, I'm trying to draw… on my own *grimace* dunno how much progress will be made… time will tell… 🙂
JQ, the IWSG website is so important and I'm extremely proud to be a part of helping to put it together… nice to meet you and thanks for stopping by my place.
I LOVE reading IWSG posts. They always boost my slumps.
Great way to celebrate — my novel-length WIP's have been feeling a bit insecure, since I've been spending so much time with my short stories. That's about to change.
Lovely post, Michelle! You're one talented drawer. 🙂
That is so super cool
Happy two year anniversary! I love the illustrations.
You creative thing you. That was so funny, and I think you truly included someone! Well done.
What a cute idea for celebrating the two year anniversary!
THANKS EVERYONE!!
Oh what fun! I loved this post. The illustrations are wonderful 🙂 Well done and, yes, congrats to Alex and the IWSG…and to YOU for co-hosting!
This was cute.
Hugs and chocolate.
