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!
January 8 question - What started you on your writing journey? Was it a particular book, movie, story, or series? Was it a teacher/coach/spouse/friend/parent? Did you just "know" suddenly you wanted to write?
NOSEY: Greetings, cybernuts! This is I.B.Nosey, the official unofficial reporter! It's a new month and a new Insecure Writer question - and I have absolutely no idea what Miss Mae - she's my author, ya know, heh heh - and as I was about to say... *hesitates* Er, um, hmm... *brightens* Oh yeah! I wonder what her answer might be?
*And just like that, dear reader, Nosey's cell buzzed. Now, don't you wonder who it might be calling?*
NOSEY: Greetings, caller! This is I.B. Nosey, your official--
MISS MAE: Oh, Nosey, it's me. Hello.
NOSEY: Miss Mae? Yeah? Funny, I was just talking about you.
MISS MAE: Of course you were, Nosey. I have a million things to do so let me answer this month's IWSG's question and--
NOSEY: Hey, that's cool 'cause, like, I was just in the middle of hosting that because Feeling Nosey? is my blog and--
MISS MAE: Yes, we all know! Now, hush for a minute, will ya?
NOSEY: But--
MISS MAE: Let me answer the question, Nosey. To all of the ISWG folks out there, let me say that I grew up on the Nancy Drew mysteries so if a certain series, etc., inspired me to try my hand at writing, blame it on Nancy.
NOSEY: Did you saw Nancy Drew? But what did she draw?
MISS MAE: Uh, come again?
NOSEY: If Nancy drew - what? Miss Mae? Miss Mae! Hello - you there?
NOSEY: Did you saw Nancy Drew? But what did she draw?
MISS MAE: Uh, come again?
NOSEY: If Nancy drew - what? Miss Mae? Miss Mae! Hello - you there?
