Hello and welcome to the J.Q. Rose blog.
Time for the monthly meeting of the Insecure Writers Support Group(IWSG) blog hop!
 |
Internet Writers Support Group Blog Hop
First Wednesday of every month.
|
What is IWSG? Founder of the Insecure Writer’s Support Group and author Alex J Cavanaugh 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. I hope you'll take some time to visit the diverse list of bloggers.

IWSG Question for the Month
|
I plan to continue with a scheduled time every day for my writing. I learned when I was penning Deadly Undertaking a few years ago, the only way to get the story done was to sit down every day and write. I set aside 15 minutes after lunch to just write. NO Internet. The 15 minutes usually turn in to one or two hours when I am on a roll.
This year I'll be working on a memoir about the first year we were in the flower business, so I plan to escape back to 1976 after lunch every day.
I've not made a plan for marketing other than contacting bloggers to host me on a blog tour in January and February. (Anyone have a spot for me on your blog?)
I'm planning to create a LOT of marketing images for Facebook and other social media using canva.com. That's fun for me. I haven't scheduled an appointment with myself to carry this through. Perhaps I should.
Have you made a plan for 2018? Let us know in a comment below. Thank you.

I am thrilled to be celebrating the release of Chrys Fey's fourth book in her Disaster Crimes series, Flaming Crimes by participating in a Blogfest.
Chrys invited bloggers to answer this question--"What is something ridiculous you would save if there was a fire?"
Chrys invited bloggers to answer this question--"What is something ridiculous you would save if there was a fire?"
She added the following note."Now, when I say ridiculous, I mean something that is important to you (something worth grabbing), but other people might find odd. After your family, pets, and important items are safe and sound (that includes anything writing related), what is the one odd thing you’d want to grab from your home?"

My Answer--If youre' a reader, you may not think my choice is a ridiculous item to save when you are racing away from a fire.
I would save my Kindle because:

1.It's small and I can grab it right off my night stand as I dash away from the approaching flames. (You can tell I'm picturing a fire in the middle of the night.)
2.I can check in on FB and email on the internet to keep in touch while I watch the firemen,women save my house.
3.I can type easily on the Kindle. (I hate typing on my phone.)
4.I'll have all of my books on hand so I can read to give me a short break from the reality of dealing with the problems a fire would bring to my life.

Beth and Donovan are now happily married, and what Beth wants more than anything is a baby. Her dream of starting a family is put on hold as fires burn dangerously close and Donovan becomes a victim of sabotage.
Donovan escapes what could've been a deadly wreck. Their past
enemies have been eliminated, so who is cutting brake lines and leaving bloody
messages? He vows to find out, for the sake of the woman he loves and the life
they're trying to build.
Amidst a criminal mind game, a fire ignites next to their home.
They battle the flames and fight to keep their house safe from the blaze
pressing in on all sides, but neither of them expects to confront a psychotic
adversary in the middle of the inferno.
Their lives may just go up in flames…
