The Insecure Writer’s Support Group ~ No#29
Welcome to the IWSG post. This is a place where writers can come together and express doubts/concerns and offer assistance/guidance… the ultimate writers' support structure. For more info go HERE.
Today the awesome co-hosts are Mark Koopmans, Joylene Nowell Butler, Elsie, and Lisa Buie-Collard!
At the moment, I'm busy with editing of my short pieces. I'm not going into too much detail here.
All I want to say is that I'm working with the most AMAZING creative editor! He is breathing LIFE into my pieces…
With regards to flow, how to economize your words and create an atmosphere, he is the master craftsman.
Oh, and we all know him as the Blurb King! Check out his services when you have a moment…
Now I'm off to visit a few IWSG'ers!
I'm excited for you, and that you found a creative editor. Ya Hoo!
Thank you Mary! It is exciting!
Yay for both you and Michael! I love it when you collaborate and come up with something better by doing so.
Let's see those shorts! 🙂
They have improved tremendously since being thrust under the expert eye of the Blurb King! 🙂
I can sense your excitement – way to go!!

It's exciting to see the pieces "grow" and begin to sparkle…
You are working with one if the best then!!
One of the best… for sure!
Wonderful! It's always nice to see progress and know that the work is getting better.
It's such a feeling of accomplishment… and satisfaction too…
That's wonderful that you are working with Michael.
He is a gem! 🙂
I can relate to that- my novel is with an awesome editor right now, and I can't way to see her comments.
Yes, we learn and grow from the feedback…
Happy for you, Michelle. You sound excited. Keep us posted.
I'm quite excited… and apprehensive too… 🙂
How exciting to work with someone who makes you a better writer. Congrats.
It's all about growth… thanks Diane!
What a treat to work with someone who can really help you move forward. Get as much as possible out of your time together.
Yes, I intend to do so. Thank you. 🙂
Sounds like things are going good, Michelle. Well done.
Hey Joy, it's moving along… slowly, but surely… 🙂
Sounds like you and Michael make a great duo!
He's the right person for my project, and very good at what he does. Hope you're well Emily? Nice to hear from you!
Isn't it amazing how another set of eyes can make all the difference? I'm so glad your editor has made your work shine.
He's really doing a great job!
Very exciting. You made grin. So glad it is going so well for you.
Happy Writings,
Juneta at <a href="http://junetakey.com/">Writer's Gambit</a>
I'm glad I could put a smile on your face. Welcome to my place Juneta! Nice to meet you.
It's always such a great feeling things are going well. A good creative genius really makes a difference. ^_^
Yes, things are moving along nicely for now… 🙂 But you never know when you can hit those snags…
Oh fantastic, great to hear you've found a good editor – that can make all the difference! Best of luck with that!
Thanks Celine! It's opened my eyes… and made a huge difference in how I perceive my work… it's so true that every writer needs another pair of eyes… or two or three pairs of eyes… 🙂
I knew Michael for his blurbs and intros. Didn't realize he was an editor, too. Very Cool.
He is multi-talented… extremely creative too!
I do believe finding and keeping a good editor is the magic bean for us writers.
Good luck!
I'm just discovering the magic now… thanks Doreen!
Hey, Michelle,
So thrilled you're happy with the edit! I'll be jumping back into them in a few, I just wanted to stop by and say hi….
WOW. I'm very honored to be working with you on your shorts and I'm so glad you are enjoying this process. It does get a bit hairy at times, but your finished project will be amazing…
Thanks for your kind words… I am humbled by them.
Thank you Michael. It's been an amazing experience thus far…… 🙂
Hi, Micelle:
If a guy could be a real doll. Michael is just that.
hugs and chocolate!
I agree… 100%!
Congratulations on your collaboration! How exciting. I'm sure together you'll create something phenomenal. I learned with my first book that no book is created alone…it takes a lot of work from some talented minds!
It's definitely a pooling of talents! The realisation that it cannot be done alone really sinks in as the project moves along…
Glad things are working out for you at the moment. Savor them, because you never know what's going to come next as a writer.
My thoughts, exactly! You never know what's waiting around the next corner…
How did I miss this post?
Woohoo! Don't you love it when stuff like that happens?! 😀
Woohoo! I love it when a plan comes together…. 🙂
Hi Michelle,
All good with you, my good friend. And to have Michael work with you on your blurb is most excellent news.
Thank you for being part of the "IWSG" aka "I Was Seeking Gary."
Gary 🙂
Thank you, my friend! 🙂
That's great you've found an editor whom you're thrilled about. And Michael is such a nice guy as well.
He's a wonderful person! Talented too!
How fantastic. Having an editor you get along with is always important. Wishing you tons of success.
Thank you Murees! I hope you're well? I'll pop by your place shortly…
That's wonderful. I'm glad you found an awesome editor to make your work shine. I love working with editors.
I'm really enjoying working with Michael. He's "in tune" with what I'm trying to say…
All the best for the stories– look forward to reading them once they're published 🙂
Thank you Damyanti! 🙂 There's still lots do do before they are published… a step at a time, I suppose…
Great to hear that you are enjoying editing, and your awesome editor, so much. Sounds like you are an amazing team.
Michael's a great person to work with. Professional and helpful too.
Ugh, Michelle, the part I dread the most, editing. I'm glad you're getting it done and with such awesome help. That must make it so much easier! Good for you!
I don't know how I feel about editing… yet. By the end of this project, I will know. (I suspect that it's not one of my stronger points…)
Great endorsement for Michael!
He's doing a great job!
Michael is gaining quite the reputation. Good for him! And good for you and your progress!
I don't hear any insecurity in this post.!

I know that Michael does wonderful work, and I'm sure you'll make a great team! I'm so excited for you, Michelle!
He's such a talented individual! I'm excited too! I almost can't believe it's happening… 🙂
Sounds as if you have a wonderful thing going! I'm glad for both of you. It's so important to enjoy the editor you end up working with, and he seems like a terrific guy.
Michael has a keen eye for detail… it's been a great experience thus far…
Michael has the magic touch with words!
