The first week of February, I did not post anything to answer to IWSG but you should definitely go read my friends’ blogposts about this month topic. The  Insecure Writer's Support Group ,  is the brainchild of  Alex Cavanaugh .  YOU can sign up  HERE  to participate. Every month a question will be posed that may prompt you to share advice, insight, a personal experience or story. Remember, the question is optional. You can write about anything that relates to your writing journey. This month's question was:  Is there a story or book you've written you want to/wish you could go back and change? This month co-hosts are : Joylene Nowell Butler,   Louise Barbour,  and  Tyrean Martinson . In my case, beside blog articles, I did not publish any book yet… I’m working on it!
