IWSG March Has Arrived!

March 2, 2016 By C. Lee McKenzie 51 Comments

And with March comes so much for writers, INSECURE  and otherwise. 
Brain Child of Alex J. Cavanaugh

The awesome co-hosts for the March 2 posting of the IWSG are

Since Tara Tyler and Christine Rains invited me to be a part of the MEME HOP, I’ve become besotted by memes. Here’s my IWSG short story told in memes.

    I love Norman Rockwell paintings. They're not real life, obviously, but I'll never stop hoping. Take time to put your feet up, Lee.

    Your post makes your life sound busy–at least I have a start on my first A-Z challenge!

    OMG, almost A to Z time? I have a huge book launch looming, so I may have to just cheer A to Z from the sidelines.

    This has been a tough year so far. Hope it gets better for everyone, me included.

    I can't believe it's almost April! I'd planned to write a bunch of A to Z posts in advance since I won't be in town for part of April. Have I started? No, of course not.

    I'm getting excited for the A to Z challenge. I need to prepare some posts in March, though, or I'll feel overwhelmed. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Mary at Play off the Page

    Hey superstar celebrity type author, Lee!

    Yeah, yeah, I know, where the heck has your starstuckest fan, aka, Gary, been? Well, you know, I've been busy with Penny's pawblicity campaign that will take over the blogging world on, perhaps appropriately, April Fool's Day.

    Anyway, way too much about shy, humble me!

    Oops an yikes, a mention of yet another hop. Let's have a "Make Them Stop Having Blog Hops" blog hop.

    Awesome about your newsletter! Interesting memes, whatever a "memes" is. Then again, to tie it in so nicely with the IWSG aka, "I Was Seeking Gary", is super duper!

    Today is only yesterday's tomorrow….

    Your starstruckest fan,

    Gary

    I'm envious of your bravery with your newsletter. I listened to all the marketing advice about how you have to have a newsletter these days, I set one up, got a few sign-ups, then completely chickened out. Cluck-cluck-cluck! *flaps wings* I signed up for yours. Maybe I'll get braver some day…

    Thanks, Lee, for your comment (almost) right now on my post The Walking Wounded. And for telling me feedburner isn't working for email following. If I only understood this stuff! You and Hillary Melton-Butcher have both mentioned feedly, so I'm checking that out. I need a LOT of FYIs for wordpress (I think I've got to take some kind of course)… Thanks!

    Love your memes. They made me smile…and I needed to smile. And now I'm going to see if I can signup…. (it's really a trial/challenge trying to connect WordPress to Blogspot who don't seem to like each othter).

    I'm being tempted by all these wonderful blog happenings, but I promised myself I'd cut back and take a break. It's the first I've decided to forgo the A to Z challenge. And I have a full plate of writing that needs to get done and edited.

    I love all of Norman Rockwell's paintings, and that's a good one!!!
