oday is ISWG Day! Insecure Writer's Support Group Today is Insecure Writer's Support Group Day! 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! Posting: The first Wednesday of every month is officially Insecure Writer’s Support Group day. Post your thoughts on your own blog. Talk about your doubts and the fears you have conquered. Discuss your struggles and triumphs. Offer a word of encouragement for others who are struggling. Visit others in the group and connect with your fellow writer - aim for a dozen new people each time - and return comments. This group is all about connecting! Let’s rock the neurotic writing world! The awesome co-hosts for the June 3 posting of the IWSG are Shannon Lawrence , Diedre Knight , Liza , and Pat Garcia ! Every month, we announce a question...

nother photo post for summertime! Art by the seven-year-old, inspired by Keith Haring A Lego vending machine Butterflies Save the wolves Art by Monica Byrne ! Beach! Rainbow pebbles Swift! Heron! How to fold an origami paper crane... Why, yes, I've finally gotten the Merlin app. So many birds I didn't know I was hearing, like the Serin. And one thing I've discovered is that one of my favourite birds, which I've been calling a turtledove all this time, is actually the wood pigeon! There's also a fun app called Roost, in which you can send messages via birds, and they take as long to arrive as the bird takes to fly to your destination. If anyone's on there, come join me! Which game apps do you play on?

Sunshine! Fruits and Flowers and Fauna, Oh My!

I've also downloaded the Merlin app and I've been learning a bit more about the birds in our neighbourhood! My favourite remains the wood pigeon (which I was accidentally calling a turtledove all this time!) Which birds do you love listening to?
