September 6th question: The IWSG celebrates 12 years today! When did you discover the IWSG, how do you connect, and how has it helped you?
We started in April of 2021 (https://jrvincente.com/2021/04/11/the-insecure-writers-support-group-iwsg/) I don’t remember where we came across it, but it was probably one of the many blogs I follow and try to keep up with. It’s been one of our most successful blog challenges. I’m pretty sure we haven’t missed a month yet! (And the fact that is the 30th one we’ve done and the 30th month since April 2021, that math checks out!)
I like having a prompt to answer. I’m always better when I have a plan to start me off. It’s been really nice having a community of people who also struggle sometimes. I will admit that I haven’t gone out and found that many people who do IWSG. I’m bad at that. Often I feel like I’m barely keeping my head above water with my blog between that and all the other things I do on a daily/weekly basis. It’s something I’m working on! I (and Richard) appreciate everyone who stops by my blog, though! The comments and likes are very much appreciated!

I’m often guilty of scheduling my IWSG posts and then letting life (and sleepiness) keep me from visiting as many blogs as I’d like. But I love our community of insecure writers!

Same here! I’m terrible at visiting other blogs, which I hate because when I do find the time, I always enjoy it!

It can be difficult to juggle a lot. Congrats on keeping up with this.
The IWSG is celebrating 12 years today, which is so amazing for a blogging community of writers. A dozen years of support! 🎉

September is library card sign-up month! Get one, use one, and be grateful such places exist.
