#IWSG Favorite Writing Aspect

​Purpose: To share and encourage. Writers can express doubts and concerns without fear of appearing foolish or weak. Those who have been through the fire can offer assistance and guidance. It’s a safe haven for insecure writers of all kinds!
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! Be sure to link to this page and display the badge in your post.
Let’s rock the neurotic writing world!
Our Twitter hashtag is #IWSG
And we’re revving up IWSG Day to make it more fun and interactive! Every month, we'll announce a question that members can answer in their IWSG Day 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.

It's simple for me to choose a favorite aspect of being a writer. I love creating new worlds, interesting characters and disatrous scenarious for said characters to overcome. It's like a vacation in my mind.  At a recent author event, one of the authors had the tagline "Acupuncture for the Soul," and I just loved that. To me, that's what writing is, acupuncture for the soul, or perhaps more accurately at least in my case, massage therapy for the soul.  I brainstorm scenes and plot lines while running because there's something about endorphin infused thought that's  magical.  Proof positive that writing, which is thought after all, is therapy for the soul. Massage away, says I! And if all else fails, once I get home my hubby is a massage therapist so I can relax any residual soreness in my muscles while I continue to mull over my plot ideas!
