An Unfortunate Realization #IWSG

Posted on February 5, 2025February 4, 2025 by Loni Townsend

The first month of 2025 is already gone, and we’re once again at the first Wednesday of the month with Insecure Writer’s Support Group. I had to laugh because I looked up the question of the month and it seems like it was written especially for me. IWSG Question of the Month – Is there…

2024 Comes to a Close #IWSG

Posted on December 4, 2024December 1, 2024 by Loni Townsend

November sped by. It passed way too quickly for me, and I can’t believe it’s already December. I had hoped to rewrite book 1 this year. I thought, since it’s already a finished book, it should be fairly easy. Alas, that isn’t how it’s turning out. If it’d been a matter of words, I probably…

May Remember. May Not. #ISWG

Posted on May 1, 2024 by Loni Townsend

Today being the first and being Wednesday took me by surprise, and I completely spaced IWSG. But hey, look, it’s not quite lunchtime over here in the Mountain time zone, so I think I’m good. Though, this means I will be late when it comes to visiting others. I’ve had some writing leaps and bounds…

Older and Wiser #IWSG

Posted on April 3, 2024April 3, 2024 by Loni Townsend

March flew by for me, and I was busy with all the things from celebrating my birthday and having fun on spring break with the kids to less fun events that ratcheted up my anxiety to fresh new levels. But all my personal chaos aside, let’s talk writing. Rewriting book 1 is a bigger undertaking…

Exposition Addict #IWSG

Posted on April 5, 2023 by Loni Townsend

Hello everyone. My name is Loni and I have a problem with oversharing. I recently got feedback on a chapter from my critique group and the general consensus was “too much exposition”. Easy enough to deal with. I’ve already removed two-thirds. I needed to keep one piece, so I asked for help from my gang…

October Already #IWSG

Posted on October 5, 2022October 4, 2022 by Loni Townsend

September flew by, and I struggle to fathom where the time has gone. I expected this, but it still shocks me that it’s October already. The first Wednesday of the month makes it Insecure Writer’s Support Group day! What makes me insecure this month? The fact I’m starting this month’s writing the same place I…

Well, That Was Fun #IWSG

Posted on July 7, 2021 by Loni Townsend

As I went to write my post this morning for Insecure Writer’s Support Group, I was presented with a wonderful 403 Forbidden error. Yay. It seems every few years I lose my site and I have to dig to get it back. As I stepped through the troubleshooting and nothing worked, I relented and reached…

And One Became Two #IWSG

Posted on June 2, 2021 by Loni Townsend

It’s the first Wednesday of June. JUNE! We have this month and the year will be half over. What makes me an insecure writer today? The same thing that’s been plaguing me for flippin’ years! Book 2. Or should I say Book 2, divided by 2? Critique partners are amazing. I love them. I have…

May Take A While #IWSG

Posted on May 5, 2021 by Loni Townsend

Happy May everyone! Today, my parents have been married for 48 years. Woot! I hope you join me in wishing them a very happy anniversary. ๐Ÿ™‚ I didn’t accomplish much toward my personal goals in April. We had our big launch at work, followed by a frenzy of fixes and tweaks. It didn’t leave much…

I did it! #IWSG

Posted on April 7, 2021 by Loni Townsend

I finished my book! Again. For the third time. Kinda. The big revision plan I had for Isto is done (woot!), but as I reread from the beginning to see if all the changes are cohesive, itโ€™s instigated a few more changes. No problem. I can deal with that. But then a member of my…

Welcome to my blog. I post here on Wednesdays most of the time, but you can find me on social media any day of the week. My topics include my stories and writing, life at the Town's End, creating and tinkering with graphics, things I learn and think might be helpful to others, and the occasional amateur photo. Thanks for stopping by! I hope to see you around.
