Insecure Writer's Support Group: Manifest 2024
It's IWSG day and I'm kinda sorta not doing it. Over on Substack, it's my one year anniversary, so I wrote something about that over there.
I didn't want to let the day go by unnoticed though.
Or feel like I'm starting 2024 off on the wrong foot.
After the way 2023 went, I have serious reserves about 2024 and have repeatedly said I don't trust it already. Yet, I do not want to start the year on negative energy.
But I'm not feeling comfortable to flat out say 2024 will rock either.
Rock, meet Hard Place.
I think my best course of action is to refuse to predict what 2024 will hold. Instead, I'll take it day by day. I have goals and plans, but I'll roll with any punches thrown my way so I can bounce up easier and get back to what I want to achieve.
Today's post was part of the Insecure Writer's Support Group. Kinda.
Created by the ninja captain, Alex J. Cavanaugh, it's a group for writers struggling with writing insecurity (AKA all of us) to gather and discuss their fears or to celebrate writing victories. If you are a struggling writer or need encouragement and friendship, join us. (Someone might have cookies!)
Remember to visit the co-hosts and give them a shout-out for helping.

I do follow your email newsletters, but I admit I don't do much with Substack. It's yet another socially-media-ish account that I don't really want to sign into. I don't know if I'm getting old or what, but I'm just not into keeping up with so many accounts and websites these days.
@Jemi, thank you. I'm trying not to scare it.
@Madeline, fingers crossed.
