Website / Facebook 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!
Let’s rock the neurotic writing world!The awesome co-hosts for the August 6 posting of the IWSG are Ronel Janse van Vuuren, Natalie Aguirre, Sarah - The Faux Fountain Pen, and Olga Godim!
Speaking of insecure, I've had a touch of it lately.
I've registered for the next Surrey International Writers' Conference (coming up in October! Join me! There's an online attendance option!) and was reallyhoping to have a short story to enter in the contest. I also need to get some of my novels together and edit them and find small publishers for them...
But the days are packed with family and work and other writing and reading (and knitting and crocheting!) and somehow...I still haven't done it. I need a new weekly schedule! It's a bit silly if the last one I set for myself was during a pandemic!
I've got three cover songs to share to commemorate the death of Ozzy Osbourne:
No More Tears guitar cover by Kristian Nairn (Hodor! Wee John Feeney!)
War Pigs solo piano cover by Amanda Palmer
War Pigs piano and drums cover by the Dresden Dolls:
In other news, author Allan Ahlberg has passed away. I knew some of his books without knowing I knew them. Then we got a copy of Each Peach Pear Plum when older kiddo was born, and I've been colllecting his books ever since and there are still so many we haven't read yet!
What are some of your favourite young readers books?
