The Insecure Writer's Support Group is the brainchild of Alex J. Cavanaugh. He, his clones, minions, friends, and fellow authors make it an amazing event every month.
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!
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.
IWSG Day Question: What are your pet peeves when reading/writing/editing?
Fun Question!
Reading Pet Peeve
- when I come across authors who use "that" instead of "who". When people who earn their living with words make this mistake, it's like nails on the chalkboard!!!
Writing Pet Peeve
- Titles! These are so hard. I tend to come up with super cheesy ones first and then they're so hard to get out of my head!
Editing Pet Peeve
- redundancies!!! My first drafts are littered with them! I'm pretty good at catching them when editing, but I need to learn to eliminate them when writing in the first place!
How about you? Any pet peeves you'd like to share? Do you sprinkle redundancies everywhere as well?
