It’s the first Wednesday of the month and time for another posting of the Insecure Writer’s Support Group. This was quite a year. And I’m looking forward to resting in December. I shared some of my lessons learned in my IWSG posts throughout the year: I found a new podcast to listen to that spoke …

Keeping the Muse Alive #IWSG #writerslife
It’s the first Wednesday of the month and time for another posting of the Insecure Writer’s Support Group. If you are a regular reader of this blog, you know I’ve been struggling creatively the last couple of months. I had blasted through the first couple of months of this year to do all the things …
Spring Cleaning and Decluttering #IWSG #AuthorLife #BookRecommendations
It’s the first Wednesday of the month and time for another posting of the Insecure Writer’s Support Group. I would like to thank everyone for their supportive comments and emails over the last month — it meant a lot to me. I’m on the road to recovery, even when some days it doesn’t feel like …
Guess Who Has Burnout #IWSG #AuthorLife
It’s the first Wednesday of the month and time for another posting of the Insecure Writer’s Support Group. Some of you probably called it in January when I said I’m going to write more “and do all the things” with more pennames (that I still keep secret)… I’m in burnout. I’m trying to build the …
If The Author’s Life Were a Fairy Tale #IWSG
If you’re looking for my A-Z post for today, check the main blog page. It’s the first Wednesday of the month and time for another posting of the Insecure Writer’s Support Group. I’m feeling a bit whimsical this month, probably because of all the folklore I’ve immersed myself in for my A-Z posts (I did …
An Author’s Goals for 2023 #IWSG
It’s the first Wednesday of the month and time for another posting of the Insecure Writer’s Support Group. It’s a new year already. Where did the time go? In 2022, I did the new year thing twice. In January, I wanted to finish my Irascible Immortals series (in all formats and in Afrikaans) and do …
That’s It! An Author’s Year in Review 2022 #IWSG #writerslife
It’s the first Wednesday of the month and time for another posting of the Insecure Writer’s Support Group. I like to look back on the year in November as I don’t blog in December. It’s a good way to measure where I am and how far I’ve come — and if I’ve managed to meet …
Reaching for the Stars as a Reader #amreading #IWSG
It’s the first Wednesday of the month and time for another posting of the IWSG. It’s October already and it feels like every other year this time: hot, humid, scattered thunderstorms with terrifying lightning, loads of flowers making the air too sweet with all the aforementioned conditions, and, of course, time to just go and …
Rewriting. Relearning. Rewarding. #IWSG #writerslife
It’s the first Wednesday of a new month and time for another posting of the Insecure Writer’s Support Group. Over the last couple of years, I’ve been rewriting posts from my old blog and publishing them on my website. I had learned so many things about online publishing since I wrote those posts (as far …
A-Z Challenge Theme Reveal 2022 #AtoZChallenge #AtoZChallengeThemeReveal
I’ll be doing the Blogging from A to Z April Challenge again this year. Normally, I don’t do a theme reveal: I usually write about Faerie (with loads of folklore, modern culture, and my interpretation for my writing). But the last couple of months haven’t gone as planned, and I had to adapt. I’ve been …
