Back again!




Here's to being consistent and not getting kicked out of IWSG for non participation!

I've been writing off and on for years, submitting even less, and stopping altogether for long periods of time. I'm back to writing and have a great start on my book, which is non-fiction. But time and life get in the way and it's hard to stay on track. I'm looking forward to more consistency and progress, and connecting again with people who understand the challenges and continue to be supportive!

  3. Welcome! I dropped out of the IWSG for awhile last year but I'm back now. Life was crazy for me too. I was too busy with work, family, etc. to give the IWSG a fair amount of time and also try to get my book finished. Now I'm back and it's so good to be here again. Glad you're here too! You're right, it's a great bunch of folks and they're super supportive.

  8. I think this is something we all struggle with. I know I do. I have yet to figure out the perfect life/writing balance.

  9. It can be hard to make time for writing. I think the first step is just being consistent, which it sounds like you are trying to do. Congrats on jumping back on the saddle! :)

    1. It is, especially when raising a family and working! But even a little bit here and there counts. Thanks for stopping by!

  10. It does make a difference having an organization that supports, understands, and nurtures our needs. I'm very thankful for IWSG too. Wouldn't have met you otherwise. Welcome back, Tess. Best of luck to you.
