 The first Wednesday of every month is the Insecure Writer's Support Group. Posts go up the 1st Wednesday of every month. Check it out here and join if you need support with your writing. Don't forget to stop by and say hello to the co-hosts: C. Lee McKenzie, Erika Beebe, Lisa Buie-Collard, Sadira Stone, and ME!
This month's optional question is: What's the strangest thing you've ever googled in researching a story? I know I've googled some weird things, but every time this question comes up, my mind goes blank. I can't even recall the last thing I googled for a story! Talk about frustrating. I really ought to write down my searches so I can properly answer this question. As for my writing insecurities, well, I'm on a roll and my insecurities have been quiet these past few months. They must be plotting something! There's no way I'd be having this much confidence with writing without it coming to bite me in the butt. I dunno. I'm trying not to fret and be doom and gloom while things are going well. That's just asking for things to go wrong. I don't have much else to say, so I'm going to sign off. Be sure to check out the other hosts this month. Let me know how your writing has been going lately. What's the weirdest thing you've had to research.

I had a mini heart attack. I thought I'd flaked out and slept through Monday and Tuesday. LOL. 11/5/2019 08:00:37 am
Getting a jump on the week, I see! You made me laugh—your writing insecurity seems to be that since you aren’t having any they’re lying in wait to attack you when least expect! (Actually, that’s about right...). 11/6/2019 01:16:22 am
Hi, 11/6/2019 02:07:08 am
Glad things are on a roll! Hold onto it for as long as you can! 11/6/2019 04:15:57 am
Don't worry about it - just enjoy the writing ride. 11/6/2019 05:00:55 am
I hope your insecurities stay away for a good long time! 11/6/2019 05:21:03 am
Strange how Google is such a natural part of our lives, we don't pay attention to how much we use it. LOL! Are writers the only ones who worry when we have nothing we're actively worrying about? Thanks for co-hosting this month and happy writing! 11/6/2019 05:36:24 am
That's awesome how you've been on such a writing roll lately! Hope those insecurities continue to be quiet and don't suddenly try to swarm you anytime soon... 11/6/2019 05:36:53 am
I'm sure I've googled some pretty bizarre things as well, but just can't remember. I'm the same way with authors and books when someone asks me my favorites. Um..... 11/6/2019 05:50:08 am
Yeh on quiet writing insecurities! Fingers crossed they stay that way for a good long time. :) 11/6/2019 06:07:55 am
My mind tends to go blank too when trying to remember what I've googled. But I did finally remember chocolate.

When insecurities nap, that's the time to send out your manuscript! Good luck with that writing and keep it going.

So funny how we're always waiting for one shoe or another to drop when things are on a roll! So sweet to have a respite from the insecurities. Just enjoy the ride. Thanks for co-hosting. 11/6/2019 07:59:56 am
Yay for your insecurities remaining quiet! Hope it stays that way. :) Thanks for co-hosting! 11/6/2019 08:20:14 am
You're on a roll, put your head down and keep rolling! Don't stop until you hit a wall, or get so dizzy you throw up. 11/6/2019 08:46:14 am
Glad to hear your insecurities are keeping at bay. Hopefully they stay there and leave you to write in peace! :) 11/6/2019 08:59:31 am
I'm with you--couldn't think of anything right off. A lot of people were clever enough to look in their browsing history. <face palm> 11/6/2019 09:31:41 am
Hi,
Thanks for co-hosting today! Had a hard time answering this month's IWSG question at first then the answers coming one by one. For a second I thought I was an abnormal writer because what writer hasn't researched something strange. 11/6/2019 12:14:42 pm
Hooray for being on a roll and quiet insecurities! Hope it turns into a nice long stretch for you. 11/6/2019 12:25:21 pm
I'm so happy to hear that things are going smoothly, Patty. 11/6/2019 01:18:22 pm
Thanks for cohosting. Good on keeping your insecurities locked out of the hosue. 11/6/2019 01:23:08 pm
Must be a nice warm feeling when everything works as it should in your writing. 11/6/2019 05:02:23 pm
Hurray for a break from insecurity. Long may it live! @samanthabwriter from 11/6/2019 05:37:24 pm
Congrats on things going well. I'm glad for you. Keeping it rolling. 11/6/2019 06:08:45 pm
Thanks for co-hosting this month. I checked out Edit.org. Thanks for sharing that. Glad to hear your insecurities are under control...for a while. lol Enjoy the respite. 11/6/2019 09:06:27 pm
Shh, if your insecurities have been quiet, then best not to speak of them... ;) 11/6/2019 11:25:52 pm
My mind totally went blank, too! I was able to think of some general topics, but some of the super weird ones just wouldn't come to the front of my mind. 11/7/2019 02:43:11 am
I hope those insecurities are to do with having got some stuff out - certainly mine have gone quiet at present (but others are rampant!) 11/7/2019 07:01:26 am
No doom and gloom for sure! Enjoy the times when things feel good! :) 11/7/2019 12:42:21 pm
LOL, I only remembered my current google search, otherwise I wouldn't remember either. Glad your feeling good about your writing! 11/7/2019 03:47:04 pm
I'm glad that your insecurities are giving you a break. Have a wonderful month! 11/8/2019 06:34:37 am

Ha! "I'm signing off." I love it. You should try to copyright that. 11/16/2019 09:36:34 pm
