Insecure Writer's Support Group

It's the first Wednesday of the month and time for another Insecure Writer's Support Group post. A big thank you to our fearless leader, Alex J. Cavanaugh, for starting this group and giving writers a place to voice our fears. If you're an insecure writer or a writer looking to give support to others, check us out here. 

This month I have one very specific writing concern, and it's related to blogging -- the Blogging from A to Z April Challenge in fact. I'm one of the co-hosts this year, and I'm super excited for the chance to work with the incredible A to Z Team. But as it's my first year as part of the team, I'm a little anxious about doing the job well and making sure that I make ever participant feel welcome and encouraged. It's a lot of work, but I can't wait!

[Shameless A to Z plugging -- if you haven't signed up yet, there's still time! Click here to join us!]

If anyone is interested in helping me overcome this month's insecurity, I could use a few awesome Minions on my team. If you're interested in becoming involved in the A to Z Challenge, please let me know. 

Good luck this month to all my fellow insecure writers. And as always, happy blogging!

    I'm a little nervous about A to Z as well. Of course, I'm not part of the team. Good luck.

    I'm not participating this year, so I'd love to take that free time to help out. Shoot me an email at randi.lee@mail.com if you're still in need of help :)

    You'll do fine! Just take it at an even pace. You don't want to burn out before the month ends.

    Congrats on making the team, Lauren. Sounds like a lot of work but I know you can do it. I wouldn't mind helping out as one of the minions, provided it isn't too time-consuming of course. :)

      I'd love to have you on my team this year if you don't think it'll be too much. If you'd give me your email address (or just email me a hennesss@gmail.com, I'd love to fill you in on the Minion specifics and give you a better sense of what that would entail. Thank you so much for volunteering.

    Depending on the approximate number of links you need your ninja minions to check, I would be willing to don yellow flesh and jean overalls! My e-mail is mrs_tripp@hotmail.com

    I think you'll be a great co-host for the a-z challenge.
    I signed up and have my topic but I just can't figure out what I'm going to do for X.
