This month’s piece for the Insecure Writer’s Support Group post might be somewhat different as I’ve spent five days away in a Care Home- River’s Edge- with my laptop giving me grief, so no emails no writing, no gaming.  There were no other amenities at the center to distract me, and the caring was hit and miss… so I got badly constipated and worse.

At least Juania and Treeky, plus Blondie, our new Companion fur baby got go camping, and enjoy themselves with 30 extended family and dogs. Most had fun playing in the trees and water, although Juanita fell on her tailbone, then got bitten during a dog-fight, then got a finger caught in a car door.

Not an ideal trip.

For now, Ukraine is my writing priority. As I’ve said a few times, I will continue my Ukraine stories until a just peace is reached and the reconstruction has begun.

Every month, IWSG announces a question that members can answer in their IWSG post. These questions may prompt you to share advice, insight, a personal experience, or story. Include your answer to the question in your IWSG post or let it inspire your post if you are struggling with something to say. 

Remember, the question is optional!

August 2 question: Have you ever written something that afterwards you felt conflicted about? If so, did you let it stay how it was, take it out, or rewrite it?

I must pass this month, after all the mishaps. But I will be back with my Ukraine Night Witches historical shorts The next episode is due around August 16th to 18th 2023.

The awesome co-hosts for the August 2 posting of the IWSG are Kate Larkindale, Diane Burton, Janet Alcorn, and Shannon Lawrence!

Let’s rock the neurotic writing world!

Posting: The first Wednesday of every month is officially Insecure Writer’s Support Group day. Post your thoughts on your own blog. Talk about your doubts and the fears you have conquered. Discuss your struggles and triumphs. Offer a word of encouragement for others who are struggling. Visit others in the group and connect with your fellow writer – aim for a dozen new people each time – and return comments. This group is all about connecting!
