#IWSG #HappyNewYear



Join Alex J. Cavanaugh and a multitude of writer's in this monthly hop to help support one another!

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!



**The Beginning of a New Year**



Whether you're contemplating a new story or are in the midst of editing your first, fourth, or final draft ~ this is a new year when we can all start anew. 
Speaking of writing~I've had many disappointments. I've failed in certain aspects, but as a writer we learn to pick up the pieces, snap them all together, and begin again. Failures, learning, and motivation are part of the writing process. We grow each day and strive for that ultimate success. 
Take each day in stride ~ good, bad, or indifferent. 



**Happy New Year My Blogger Friends**

  1. Yes, we've all had failures. The important thing is to get motivated, learn from our mistakes, and start a new blank page like you are doing. Happy New Year! Hope it's great.

  2. Hi, Catherina! Love the images you've included. Not sure if you're a Star Wars fan but one of my favorite lines from The Last Jedi was Yoda telling Luke Skywalker that failure is the best teacher. I couldn't agree more! Thanks so much for spreading the word about my new release and may your new year start off with flashes of light!

  6. So true, so true: Failures, learning, and motivation are part of the writing process. We grow each day and strive for that ultimate success.

    Your words sum it up beautifully. We just need to keep going, no matter what, and find the joy in what we're doing each day. Like today, it's about reading inspiring IWSG posts!

  7. Excellent example of what a writer is made of. If we weren't stubborn, and resilient, we'd have given up long ago. Have a great January.
