| IWSG Blog Hop---the first Wednesday of every Month. |
Hello and welcome to the Insecure Writer's Support Group Blog Hop!
What is the Insecure Writer's Support Group?
Founded by author Alex J. Cavanaugh, the Insecure Writer’s Support Group offers support for writers and authors alike. It provides an online database, articles and tips, a monthly blog posting, a Facebook and Instagram group, Twitter, and a monthly newsletter.
Alex explains the group's purpose is "to 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’s a safe haven for insecure writers of all kinds!" You're invited to become a member of this supportive group.
The group blogs the first Wednesday of every month. The list of bloggers is always available so you can hop around to the author blogs filled with humor, advice, and thought-provoking topics on writing and publishing. You can find the list of participants at Alex's IWSG page.

| IWSG Question for the Month |
May 2 question - It’s spring! Does this season inspire you to write more than others, or not?
I'm subject to spring fever, but not the kind where I just sit and daydream. In the spring I get a mad obsession to clean--to clean out closets, scrub the blinds, shampoo the carpet, wash windows inside and out, open up the house and let the fresh air blow through. This season does not inspire writing. I have to be up and doing except when the spring showers fall. Then I like to be quiet and read.
