The
Insecure Writer’s Support Group
Purpose: 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!
Posting: 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 say's, let’s rock the neurotic writing world!

And the
crew is revving up IWSG Day to make it more fun and interactive! Every month, they'll announce a question that members can answer in their IWSG Day post. These
questions may prompt you to share advice, insight, a personal experience or
story. Include your answer to the question in your IWSG post or let it inspire
your post if you are struggling with something to say.
Today's Question:
What's the best thing someone has ever said about your writing?
My answer:
When they compared my writing to that of Stephen King, an author I've always respected. Although, it was also the reason given by a few readers for why they would not finish my book, Memories of Murder.
Still, I'll take it as a compliment!

Today I have a question regarding reviews:
When someone posts a review on their blog should you respond with a comment - a thank you? I've always tried to hit the
'like' button on Goodreads, and thank a blogger that I know with an email message,
but will leaving a comment 'thank you' mean that the Amazon police will see it
and delete the review?
How do you respond to a great review from
someone you know
vs. someone you don't.
Is there a certain etiquette to be followed?
