Insecure Writers Support Group and D-oh!

Hi everyone, It’s that time again for the monthly Insecure Writers Support Group, hosted by Alex J. Cavanaugh. The Co-hosts for June are Nancy Gideon, Bob R. Milne, Doreen McGettigan, Chrys Fey, Bish Denham, and Pat Garcia

 My concern this month, forgetting all about IWSG while I’m on break. D-oh! I mean, how easy is it to post once a month, the first Wednesday of said month? But it happened. Just getting up here on the Left Coast and drinking that first cup of coffee when it slowly dawns on me I didn’t post. 

Well, it’s just after 8:00 a.m. so I guess technically I’m not too late to join the IWSG festivities. Okay, I’m supposed to be on break. Vacation. Getting that all elusive R&R. So here’s my post, albeit a little late. Now back to my coffee and some writing and editing. Is there a better way to R&R? If so, I don’t want to know.

  7. August is one of those months like December when all kinds of things get forgotten. I was late posting as well but had plenty of insecurities to choose from and managed to write it quickly.

  8. I think it's the season--hot, kind of lazy (LOL) and easy to slip into a stupor. I almost forgot IWSG, too.

  11. But you remembered really quickly! When I forget things, it's like days before it dawns on me. Have a great break, and good luck with writing/editing!

  13. I always barely remember to get my IWSG post written in time too. Especially if I have a lot going on. It's easy to forget something you do once a month, even if you have been doing it every month. There's enough time that passes between posts to mess with making it part of your routine.

  14. Breaks are the best reason to let things slip out of your mind. Hope you're enjoying your time off!

  16. You're on vacation, you're allowed to forget stuff like this, but I like the Do'h! Did you have a donut before posting?

  17. I find writing can be stressful when you first begin, but once I get going I get more thrilled and energized. And when I post something I've finally finished, the feeling is amazing and the R&R which comes after it is that much more enjoyable.

  18. Bah, forgetting stuff while on vacation is fine and dandy. You still caught it though. Dumb heat makes me not feel like doing much.

  19. Hope you had a great vacation! You only sort of forgot, as you caught it in time. :)

  21. Hi Stephen, enjoy your vacation. I too forgot that it was a IWSG day, by that I mean that I usually schedule my posts a few days earlier, but from the past few months, I am forgetting that its the first Wednesday of the month :( so you aren't alone.
