No, not adventure time.
No, not time to get a watch.
It's time for the monthly meeting of the Insecure Writers Support Group!
This month, I'm talking about OPPORTUNITIES.
Some people wait for opportunity to knock. Some give up after missing out on one opportunity. But I recommend reaching out and grabbing every opportunity you can handle!
Sometimes I get really down about not being able to write as much as I need to, or not being able to visit other bloggers as much as I'd like to. I worry and fret and hope I reach my goals, and hope my friends are still there when I finally find time to reconnect.
I should know by now that things usually work out. Though not always as expected, if we keep working and taking chances, new opportunities will arise!
Don't give up. Keep at it. We're all pretty much headed in the same direction, just at different paces and stops along the way.
It's also time to post results from last month's Writer's Life Survey #14 - Music that Moves You!
What song could accompany one of your books/stories?
- Bring Me to Life by Evanescence - Book II...Sarah
- Dragon on the Sea - Book: Dragon of the Stars
- Two characters with full background for a Star Wars RPG inspired by the song "Your Winter" by Sister Hazel.
- When You Say You Love Me by Josh Groban - Book: Murder, Madness & Love
- Demons by Imagine Dragons - Book: Hoosier Dad
- Johnny's Cash's cover of Hurt - Book: Leaves of Fall
- Too many to list - I imagine a soundtrack LP for all my stories!
- Hold Me Now by Red - Book: Rising series
- The Four Seasons' "Rag Doll" - Book: Little Ragdoll
