IWSG - BUILDING CASTLES



If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put foundations under them.


This insecure post I want to offer a little inspiration for the projects you're pursuing and thought this quote by Thoreau would help achieve that!

I'm thrilled to be starting a new venture with the awesome Aussie Denise Covey and WEP-Write…Edit…Publish Blog Hop featuring flash fiction challenges.

I'm awaiting the first edits from my publisher on my third book Murder & Obsession, and I'm still working to put two new projects into the readers hands.

My life is full, complicated, and blessed. Wishing you all the happiness, inspiration, and success, you desire!

The awesome co-hosts for this posting of the IWSG are

As Alex says, "Let’s rock the neurotic writing world!"

The Twitter hashtag is #IWSG

Did you know there's a t-shirt for the IWSG! You can purchase it here –

I just received this message from Laura Johnston regarding
Authors Untied Against Child Slavery
Campaign Ending This Weekend

Authors and Bloggers,

Thank you all for your support of this campaign. We have reached nearly $3,000 in donations and hope to reach that goal amount--or even break it!--by this weekend before the campaign closes on the Fourth. If any of you can share the campaign on your social media outlets in the next couple of days and ask your friends to donate, that would be great.

Please consider a donation or sharing on FB or Twitter.

In the near future consider a new Flash Fiction Challenge with the WEP

'Let's rock the neurotic writing world' indeed. Great to have you as my trusty co-pilot Yolanda. I'm sure WEP will benefit from your drive to succeed. I've got my Twitter account working again so will tweet the above. :-)
