Hi everyone. It’s the first Wednesday of the month and this means it’s time for the Insecure Writer’s Support Group (#IWSG) to meet again. I’m more than happy to report that I didn’t get booted for my flaky post last month.
I’m feeling quite motivated to write as of late. It’s still mostly regular posts on this blog, but that’s okay. I know, I know, I resolve each month to expand my writing horizons by doing more poetry and fiction writing. I’m also resolving this time to set some time aside for a daily freewriting session in the app Day One. My yearly subscription payment is due at the end of the month and I haven’t made use of it in a while, so now’s the time to get back into things.
Now on to this month’s optional question: what would make you quit writing? Seriously? I guess my death or the loss of my hand function, though if I lost the ability to type, I could possibly still dictate my writings. That being said, I’ve always said that loss of hand and particularly finger function would majorly impair my quality of life, since it’d not just mean an inability to type, but an inability to read Braille as well.
I have had times when I’ve taken a break from blogging and occasionally even writing in general. The longest I’ve gone without blogging since I got an Internet connection has been six months in like 2012. Since I started this blog nearly three years ago, not a week has gone by that I didn’t write at least one blog post.
Even before I had a blog, I had a diary and wrote tons of short stories and attempts at young adult novels. I honestly don’t think that, even if I ever were to stop blogging, I’d really stop writing for myself.
What would make you quit writing?

Death lol… maybe!

LOL yes maybe, although my husband claims God needs a blogger (or several) in Heaven too.

I saw that question on another blog earlier, they said $10 Millon US Dollars would do it, yes, that might do it!

Oh LOL, that’s interesting. 🤣 I don’t think it’d do it for me though.

Either my life is too swamped for me to get anytime to write or I lost interest.

Thank you for sharing. That’s a possibility too, although in my case I can’t imagine losing interest in writing.

I too have many months when the IWSG is my only blog post. At least we’re thinking about writing in between, right?

Yes, true. I do write more blog posts usually, but it reassures me that even if I didn’t, I’d still be a valid writer. Thank you!

A writing life is a life lived, for even when not writing, words grow and multiply until they spill forth in phrases and sentences and glorious paragraphs.
