Getting Creative #IWSG

Join us for the Insecure Writers Support Group developed by Alex Cavanaugh

Hey, writers! Welcome to the November posting of the Insecure Writers Support Group. I’m grateful to our leader Alex Cavanaugh as well as to our cohosts: Diedre Knight, Lisa Buie Collard , Kim Lajevardi, and JQ Rose.

November 6 question – What creative activity do you engage in when you’re not writing?

I know how much devious inspiration it takes to weave plots involving compelling characters, so I can only imagine the multitude of additional creative pursuits my fellow writers have undertaken. I look forward to seeing what you’ve been up to!

For me, I adore cooking and baking projects so much that my friends call me The Pinterest Assembler. Maybe it’s not that creative simply to recreate recipes, but it sure is a blast! Here are a fruity owl and a cookie cake:

Since moving to South Carolina to live closer to my six-year-old niece, I enjoy babysitting and playing with breakfast:

#IWSG Creative Pursuits Beyond Writing

November 7, 2018 Jennifer Lane

Happy November, writers! Join our support group to encourage fellow writers and vent about the writing process at Alex Cavanaugh’s blog.

Thank you to this month’s awesome co-hosts. Congratulations in particular to Ellen Jacobson for her upcoming release, Bodies in the Boatyard. Anytime I start laughing simply from reading the dedication (“For cats everywhere who hate collars”), I know I’m in for an enjoyable read. I loved book one in the series: Murder at the Marina.

Co-Hosts: Ellen @ The Cynical Sailor, Ann V. Friend, JQ Rose, and Elizabeth Seckman

IWSG Day Question: How has your creativity in life evolved since you began writing?

Starting this writing adventure has helped me realize how important creativity is in my life. Aquarians born between January 20 and February 18, like me, are known to be creative. However, I never embraced my creative side until I started writing novels.

In addition to writing, I enjoy creative pursuits like Paint Nite and Pinterest recipes. Here are a few of my favorite creations:

Happy May, writers. Time to discuss our hopes and fears. Join us at Alex Cavanaugh’s blog. The amazing co-hosts for the May 4 posting of the IWSG will be Stephen Tremp, Fundy Blue, MJ Fifield, Loni Townsend, Bish Denham, Susan Gourley, and Stephanie Faris!

We writers find inspiration in the strangest places. For me, Pinterest is top on my list. I’m addicted to Pinterest, I must admit.

I like to create a Pinterest board when writing to collect images and websites that relate to the story.

For my work in progress SPIKED (Blocked #3), I’ve pinned these images:

1) Volleyball T-shirts (the heroine from Blocked has quite a collection)

2) Bad pickup lines (How Mateo gets Jessica to laugh)

What inspires YOUR writing? What’s the worst pickup line you’ve heard?
