The
Insecure Writer's Support Group (IWSG) is a monthly support system for
blogging writers in need of finding other writers to connect with and
share our deepest insecurities in a safe environment. Created by the
clever Alex J. Cavanaugh with the expressed purpose to "share and encourage."
This month's optional question is, "When your writing life is a bit cloudy or filled with rain, what do you do to dig down and keep on writing?"
Well, this question implies that I have somehow already figured out how to get through the stormy days of writing by still writing. I can assure you that I haven't done any such thing. I still wait it out until the sun starts shining again before I get back to it. Sorry. No one ever said I'm not a failure at this writing thing.
I know it's an area where I need some big growth, so I'll be working on it. We'll see what I feel I need to do when the time comes. I know I have to get better at just keeping the nose to the grindstone, so I'll remember how embarrassing it was to have to admit to this on my blog (today) and it will motivate me to persevere through the tough writing days from now on. See? Who doesn't want to be one of the cool kids?
What do you do to get through the stormy writing days? Maybe you have some sage wisdom to impart to me.
