IWSG: November Edition

November already! And time for the monthly posting for the Insecure Writer's Support Group. This supportive group started by Alex J. Cavanaugh, offers advice, shares our woes and cheer for each others' successes. You can join this wonderful group by signing up here.  And even if you're not already a member, you can visit other bloggers today.

A few months ago, we started posing a monthly question to our members. Members don't have to answer it, but if they don't know quite what to post that day, they can use it.

This month's question:
What is your favorite aspect of being a writing?

I love being self-employed. I love working at home. The coffee is good at home, but I can also have a glass of wine while I'm at work. Reading is part of my job. I have a great office. I guess I just can't pick one aspect. I love being a writer. Oh, and I've met some great friends.

Other news. The IWSG anthology contest has a large number of great entries. Way to go, you wonderful writers. And I love that so many have submitted even though not everyone will be in the anthology, people will keep writing. This business is about never giving up.

More news! Crystal Collier has a new release. Timeless, the third book in her Maiden of Time series, is now available on Amazon. And to celebrate, the first book, Moonless, is now available for free but only for a few days.

Don't forget that Daylight Savings Time Ends this weekend. The dark will be coming early which doesn't bother me at all when it's cold out. I always get more writing done in the winter.

Recently in a shocking revelation, my husband and I discovered my daughter didn't know who Yogi Berra was. What is the world coming to?
"The future ain't what it used to be?" Yogi Berra

Do you like when the time changes? What do you like about being a writer? Are you grabbing up Crystal's free book?

Friday Fun Times

How about a few notes of appreciation and shout outs for today. Toni DePalma is kicking off her blog tour for her newest release, The Devil's Temptation. This is on my TBR list. Love that cover and here's a short blurb.

Fighting the Devil brought Cooper and Grace together. But without a little evil to spice things up, the everyday life of a normal teenager is pretty dull. A summer job crewing on a billionaire’s yacht in sunny Italy might be just the ticket to rekindle passion. While the setting is perfect, the winding, sinister back streets of Naples are also the perfect playground for a scorned Lucifer to wreak havoc. And if evil doesn’t rip them apart, the sultry billionaire’s daughter and the sexy First Officer might be what it takes to finally destroy Cooper and Grace’s love forever.

Buy The Devil's Temptation today.

A special thanks to Crystal Collier. I won a book on her blog. I'm very much looking forward to reading Scotland's Guardians by Katharina Gerlach. Watch for my review.

A little wisdom from the Old Farmer's Almanac to think about this weekend. "To avoid nightmares smell your socks before going to bed." Let me know if that works.

Hopefully next week I'll be sharing the news that I have my A to Z posts finished. Those are my weekend plans.

Don't forget to read those wormfest posts. They're all so thought out as we embrace the future at the same time we have concerns of where it might take us.

Congrats to Alex J. Cavanaugh for reaching 2,000 followers. Just wow!

Saturday I drive my daughter to the train station so she can return to college in Boston. Sunday I drive my son to Penn State so he can dive into those last seven weeks of his college career.

Are your weekend plans as exciting as mine? Any special shout outs you want to share?
