[EDIT – didn’t actually write the post before its scheduled publication time. That has been corrected.]
The past several weeks have been busy, thanks to NaNoWriMo, work, family obligations, and planning house upgrades. Thus a short IWSG post for the month.
The Insecure Writer’s Support Group question for December 2022 is: It’s holiday time! Are the holidays a time to catch up or fall behind on writer goals?
In past years I would have said holidays are when I fall behind, even though I have vacation time, but this year I think I might put that down time to good use. This is mostly because I have an actual plan and an actual draft to work on, with an actual end goal in sight. This is seldom the case at the end of the year. That, more than anything else, tends to drive whether or not I actually sit down and do the work.

and supporting insecure writers
in all phases of their careers.
John, there’s no IWSG post!! (I did enjoy browsing through the music videos, though!!).
Ha! I just noticed that and made the necessary corrections.
Writing time only allowed if I can cite a specific objective, so I called IWSG Dec 7 an urgent deadline.
Insecure ? No sign of that, in any post read so far, all amazing high achieving 50,000 words a month, and
think of a number book deals.
Family expert – worked in publishing, told me I’m not a writer, conceded, kindly enough, that I might be OK as a journalist.
Cards to be written or emailed,, presents wrapped, no use wailing I dropped cookery at 13
Almost everybody’s on strike, it’s -7 C , we might even get a white Christmas instead of the usual wet.
Try again to be a writer, next year ? And get a proper website ?
