The Purpose of the IWSG 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!
The first Wednesday of every month is officially Insecure Writer’s Support Group day. Post your thoughts on your own blog. Talk about your doubts and the fears you have conquered. Discuss your struggles and triumphs. Offer a word of encouragement for others who are struggling. Visit others in the group and connect with your fellow writer - aim for a dozen new people each time. Be sure to link to this page and display the badge in your post.
As Alex says, let’s rock the neurotic writing world!
The awesome co-hosts are TB Markinson, Tamara Narayan, Shannon Lawrence, Stephanie Faris, and Eva E. Solar!
PERFECTIONISM
I've
been dealing with issues of perfection, and how far from perfect, I seem to
fall. It's something I, and many of you (be honest) strive for, and often to
our own detriment.
What I've decided is that perfection is a great goal to have, but one I'll never actually achieve.
BUT the journey toward it means learning, doing, listening, learning, accepting, and above all learning and trying again and again, because just the effort means I'm doing my best. And doing my best may not always work out the way I intended, but each step forward is a step closer to my dream.
At least that's what I'm telling myself this week. Hey no one is perfect! :)

Then they tell you practice makes perfect. I wish they'd make up their minds.”
“The artist who aims at
perfection in everything achieves it in nothing.”
“People throw away what they
could have by insisting on perfection, which they cannot have, and looking for
it where they will never find it”
