Halfway There #IWSG

Posted on July 2, 2025 by Loni Townsend

Happy Insecure Writer’s Support Group day! It’s July and the puppy is huge. Pictures don’t do him justice. He’s 4 months old now, and he’s probably close to 40lbs, if not more. The kids and I have been doing training, but the barking and jumping are things we have yet to break him of. Despite…

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…

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…

Correcting Past Mistakes #AmEditing

Posted on October 24, 2018 by Loni Townsend

About a month ago, my coworker said he was rereading Thanmir War to prep for beta-reading Isto. That surprised me (it isn’t exactly a short book), and I told him to tell me if he comes across anything confusing (since that’s a common issue of mine). He promptly responded, “The first two chapters.” After I…

Master of Confusion

Posted on September 12, 2018September 11, 2018 by Loni Townsend

The responses to last week’s post made me raise my eyebrows a bit because I realized I wasn’t very clear. When I’d written “they should have the background acquired in the first book”, I’d meant because it’s serial, not episodic like the Cera Chronicles. I suppose unclear is my root issue. You know how they…

Just Keep Typing #IWSG

Posted on September 5, 2018September 5, 2018 by Loni Townsend

After a fun stint of troubleshooting a 403 error this morning (yay for corrupt .htaccess files), I finally have my site up and running so that I can actually post for the Insecure Writer’s Support Group. Thank you Raimey Gallant for catching that for me! If you saw my post last week, you know that…

You Are Not Prepared #IWSG

Posted on November 4, 2015 by Loni Townsend

I traveled out of town this past weekend to attend a memorial for the mother of family friends. I knew Grace, but as the memorial progressed, I didn’t realize how little. She was an amazing woman that impacted many lives for the better. She made a difference in her community, in her family, and in…

Thanmir War and This World Bites are both on the list. Check out the full selection here. I know I’m looking forward to picking…

To Prologue… more than once? #IWSG

Posted on August 5, 2015August 5, 2015 by Loni Townsend

I know prologues are considered one of those deadly sins of writings, but it’s one of the “rules” I’m willing to break. But what if I have two prologues for the same story? I’ve read books with multiple prologues. They don’t bother me. But I’ve encountered people who assume prologue == bad writing. They immediately…
