I just joined this support group for writers - The Insecure Writers Support Group, also known as ISWG. IWSG was created by Alex J. Cavanaugh and his monthly support team, Joylene Novell Butler, Jen Chandler, Mary Aalgaard,Lisa Buie Collard, Tamara Narayan, Tyrean Martinson, and Christine Rains!

November 2 Question: What is your favorite aspect of being a writer?
A writers derives many things from writing. For me writing, like a magic potion, has always been very therapeutic. Here is an attempt to crystallize my thoughts on writing in the form of a poem:
Writing is the culmination of the tsunami of my thoughts.
Writing is the proof of the exuberance of my emotions. Writing is the visible iceberg of my imagination.
Writing is my heart, soul and inseparable companion.
I do not create stories, poems, plays or prose.
I create and destroy several parallel universe.
I give birth to some and kill some character
I play God, in my head, and on paper.
I derive strength, I derive solace,
I derive happiness and I derive joy.
Writing is a way of expressing a promise.
Writing is the freedom from this matrix.
So, if you want to join this group, please sign up here #IWSG
