Insecure Writers' Support Group #IWSG
The Insecure Writers Support Group has started a Book Club at Goodreads! The club is all about honing our craft as writers, so visit the page to learn more and join.
The 2017 A to Z Challenge is on - good luck to all of those participating! This month's optional question for the IWSG is: Have you taken advantage of the annual A to Z Challenge in terms of marketing, networking, publicity for your book? What were the results?
I'm not participating in A to Z this year since I knew I couldn't commit to daily blog visits, but I've had great fun completing the challenge in the past. I have to be honest and say that I've never looked at A to Z as a marketing opportunity for my books or even as publicity to increase my blog following. I just did it because it was fun. I usually think it's a blessing to not take myself too seriously, but the flip side of that is I often don't take myself seriously enough, and I know that holds me back from achieving all that I could.
BUT I am totally serious about giving away my book for free later this month. If you'd like to help me spread the word, please join my Thunderclap. Thank you!
This post is part of the monthly blog hop/therapy session known as Insecure Writer's Support Group, founded by the one and clonely Alex J. Cavanaugh. Click below to join the group!

I'll sign up for the Thunderclap.
No A-Z for me this year. four years was enough. It was fun at the time, but now it would be too stressful. Trying to keep life and simple as possible these days.
Hope to see you some time next month. I get back on May 4th. Let me know. We NEED our Taurus lunch. LOL
I'll sign in for your Thunderclap...
I'll help with the Thunderclap!
I've never had any product to market during A to Z, but I see the Challenge as a way to market myself and my blog. I think it's been pretty effective for that purpose.
