Hello, friends! Today is the December meeting of The Insecure Writer's Support Group. The group was founded by our Ninja Captain Alex J. Cavanaugh. To view list members and this month's co-hosts, or to sign up and join the group, visit the IWSG page here.
I haven't done much writing this year but I'm slowly getting back into the groove again and plan to make 2020 a much more productive one for me. I'm working on a story as well as thinking about some new ideas, while trying to focus on the simple enjoyment of writing. I expect to have some good publishing news to share soon and I am also kicking around some ideas to try to be more engaged with the writing and reading world in the year to come.
I really couldn't think of much to write about this month so I will make this short and simply say I continue to be so grateful for all of the amazing people I have met through this blog. I hope everyone has a great December, and I wish you a wonderful holiday season.
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Happy New Year!
Get your groove on next year.
ReplyDeleteYes, I've met some amazing people through my blog over the years.
Merry Christmas!
Focusing on the simple enjoyment of writing is wise. I have a similar goal for the new year as well as returning to blogging more frequently. I miss the inspiration shared by my fellow writers/bloggers. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to a more productive 2020, too. And yes on meeting people through blogging! :)
ReplyDeleteI think getting back to the enjoyment of writing was my sanity saver. I was becoming too absorbed in the sales side and it was killing the joy of writing. I'll be eagerly awaiting youur news! Happy December to you!
ReplyDeleteBlogging has been such a wonderful way to "meet" some amazing people! I'm thankful for that as well.
ReplyDeleteHappy December and Happy Holidays to you!
Happy December to you too! Here's to a fantastic 2020 for us all. :)
ReplyDeleteI like that you have a plan to help you get back in the groove/be more productive next year. I've only gotten as far as saying, "I'd like to do better next year."
ReplyDeleteHappy December!
I'm thankful to have met you and so many others through the blogging world, too. Hope you have a wonderful December and a great start to 2020!
ReplyDeleteBest of the season to you too! I hope 2020 is better for me. New year; new beginnings. :-)

Focusing on the simple enjoyment of writing is my mantra.
