  This is my   Insecure Writers Support Group   post for September 2021. Alex's awesome co-hosts this month  are:  Rebecca Douglass,   T. Powell Coltrin @Journaling Woman,   Natalie Aguirre,   Karen Lynn,  and  C. Lee McKenzie! Please stop by their blogs and say thank you .  💻💻💻💻💻 Random fact... When searching for the September question to build this post, I noticed that IWSG also stands for Integrated Waste Solutions Group. I guess that means we either polish up our manuscripts, or they get flushed. LOL September question:   How do you define success as a writer? Is it holding your book in your hand? Having a short story published? Making a certain amount of income from your writing?

Please stop by their blogs and say thank you .  💻💻💻💻💻 August question - What is your favorite writing craft book? Think of a book that every time you read it you learn something or you are inspired to write or try the new technique. And why? I'm gonna be a real rebel this month.
