It’s time for another group posting of the Insecure Writer’s Support Group! Time to release our fears to the world – or offer encouragement to those who are feeling neurotic. If you’d like to join us, click on the tab above and sign up. We post the first Wednesday of every month and encourage everyone to visit at least a dozen new blogs and leave a comment. Your words might be the encouragement someone needs.
The co-hosts today are: Tonja Drecker, Diane Burton, MJ Fifield, and Rebecca Douglass!
Click on the link above for the IWSG to get more information about the group and what is the latest goings on.
Each month on Wednesday you can join in and there is an optional question prompt provided. The question for November:
Win or not, do you usually finish your NaNo project? Have any of them gone on to be published?
I have not participated in NaNoWriMo which, for those who may not know, is where people participate in a challenge to write an entire novel in a month. Knowing myself, this is something I would not want to do. Good luck to all the members of IWSG who are participating.
That leaves us wondering what are we going to do with the month of November if we are not choosing to spend it writing a novel. Well life goes on and I will be celebrating my first grandson’s 1st birthday. I will get ready to celebrate Thanksgiving with my family. This includes making a turkey dinner. I will continue to read some good books and watch some good movies. November begins with Samhain which has been thought of as the beginning of the dark months of winter in Celtic history. Winter is a time to draw in and conserve energy. I am drawn to slowing down. And there is the next WEP December Challenge coming up soon enough.
“A flashback? A new start? A cascading change? A branching off point? An end and a beginning? Celebrate year’s end with us!”

November is a little busy at work, as it’s the end of our fiscal year. At home, it’s all about getting ready for winter.

You have a few more holidays to look forward to starting with Thanksgiving, a long weekend. You get a real winter back there. I remember you talked about getting the snow removal machine ready.

The cars will be in the garage before Thanksgiving (I hope) and the snow blower is ready, but it’s still parked out of the way in the shed. We have leaves to remove.

I was going to do the NaNo thing for sure. Then I decided I didn’t want that kind of intense stress level that would require me to put other things on hold. Maybe I’ll set my own boundaries and goals about how to write my novel. Grandchildren are important, too!

Setting my own time table would work better for me too. It is a busy month for family and I think I am in tune with the seasons.
