IWSG is a writers' support group created and led by Alex J. Cavanaugh.
Purpose: To share and encourage. Writers can express doubts and concerns without fear of appearing foolish or weak. Those who have been through the fire can offer assistance and guidance. It's a safe haven for insecure writers of all kinds!
This group is an immense help to many of us who do not mind sharing our insecurities and successes or giving others encouragement and support.
So, if you are interested and would like to join, the link below will lead you directly to us.

Hi Pat. I like visiting your blog. I'm sorry I couldn't follow your challange in March as I'm busy relocating. Over time, I've also become a sporadic blogger. Thanks for co-hosting today.
ReplyDeleteA lot of writers in this group post just once a month for the IWSG, often myself included. But it keeps me going and connected to others.
ReplyDeleteThanks for co-hosting today!
Thank you for co-hosting this month!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice that your blog posts go over different platforms
ReplyDeleteIt's so interesting reading everyone's blogging history--the beginning.

Welcome back! Nice to have you as a co-host this month. Thanks to you and other, IWSG continues to thrive.
ReplyDeleteHappy IWSG Day! Thanks for co-hosting this month. I think, I too might be a sporadic blogger, but hadn't ever given it a name.
ReplyDeleteA venue like IWSG has kept me blogging. Glad to see it helps you, too. Thanks for cohosting this month.
ReplyDeleteLinked In has writing groups? LOL - been on that platform for years and never knew.
ReplyDeleteI've gone in waves with my blogging as well. In fact, I'm stepping back for now. Have a wonderful month, Pat
ReplyDeleteOnce a month can be hard enough when submitting or being creative. :-)

I also blog consistently with IWSG. It's difficult to find time to do more. Of course, I have my Camping with Five Kids blog I post once a month as well. I should check out LinkedIn writing groups. There is so much we can do, but impossible to do all things and create stories and essays. More power to you, Pat!
ReplyDeleteOne of the privileges of being an adult is to follow your own guidelines, so blog when you wish. Thanks for the prompt to post our blogs on Insta and X!
ReplyDeleteAdulting has its privileges and blogging when you wish is surely one of them. Thanks for the prompt to publish one's blog to Insta and X.
ReplyDeleteInstagram, X and FB is a nice way to get your posts out. Thanks for co-hosting. Sandra sandracox.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteWithout the support of IWSG members and blogging once a month, I fear I could easily fade into the sunset. So I'm happy to have found this group with so much inspiration to share ;-) Thanks for co-hosting!
ReplyDeleteSporadic or not, you're a bright spot on the blogosphere. Thanks for co-hosting. :)
ReplyDeleteI also blog regularly once a month on the IWSG day. Until recently, I also blogged regularly for WEP: a bimonthly flash fiction blog hop. Alas they closed. Maybe a resurrection is coming, in one form or another. I have hopes.
ReplyDeleteThanks for co-hosting this month.
Many only blog once a month. I'm glad you continue to blog the first Wednesday of the month. Thanks for co-hosting with me.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty much once a month too unless I'm having a guest post for someone promoting. We used to see more of each other, Pat. Sigh...
ReplyDeleteHi, Pat! I'll take reading your blog once a month over not reading it, hands down! Thanks for co-hosting, btw! I try to put up an announcement about my blog once a week on FaceBook, but I fail miserably at consistency. Blogging, I'm pretty consistent. Have a great April!
ReplyDeleteI used to be very regular, every Wednesday. Now there are ebbs and flows. But I'm always here for first Wednesday with IWSG! @samanthabwriter from
ReplyDeleteBalancing Act
Thank you, Pat, for co-hosting. I had stopped writing other than a few posts on facebook. With the death of my husband, the passion had fizzled. I wondered if I'd ever feel that fire again. I'm back but without the writing taking over my life. I was so relieved to find that IWSG was still active and that you are still a major part of the group. Blessings
