Ninja Captain Alex J. Cavanaugh , my hero and one of my mentors, founded this amazing and wonderful group.
The group’s purpose is to allow writers to share their doubts and fears, trials and tribulations without fear of being mocked or feeling foolish. It’s also a place where writers who have “been there” can offer wisdom and guidance.
Whenever anyone finishes a draft, edits their work, finds the perfect critique group, publishes their work, or has any other good news to share, this is the place to do it too!
The awesome co-hosts for this month’s posting of the IWSG are Julie Flanders, Murees Dupé, Dolorah at Book Lover, Christine Rains, and Heather Gardner!
Make sure you pay them a visit and thank them for all their hard work!
It’s been a tumultuous few months, but I’m keeping it together. Making every attempt to keep my chin up and trudge forward because it’s what I have to do.
When I feel defeated, I vent to a very special few, who hear me out and offer advice. I’m still traveling a rough road to get where I need to be. I pulled this Maya Angelou quote, and it expresses exactly how I feel. It instantly made me feel stronger. I loved her.
I refuse to give in. Sometimes I might be a little battered, but I will never admit defeat. Ever.
Do you have any favorite quotes that snap you out of a bad mood? Any other fans of Maya Angelou out there?
My Miracle Life 
You have been battered lately. That’s a good quote.

It is. I’m not lying when I said it instantly made me feel better. I’ll explain more when I update.

I know you are and that’s why I love you all so much. I think I would’ve been defeated already if not for you guys and a few special online friends.

My Dad always told us we never knew what we could do till we tried and that anything was possible if we never gave up. I know you’ll prevail because you have a great attitude.

Thanks Deanie, but I’d be lying if I said I always have a great attitude. I don’t. A lot of times I have to push myself.
I had a short convo with Alex about this earlier. If not for the online Fellowship group I’m in and a few good online friends like you, I probably would’ve given up a long time ago.
Make no mistake that your support has helped make me a stronger person – maybe not physically, but emotionally. I think that’s where I needed it most. Love you always, my friend.

I love Maya Angelou and especially her quote “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”

Never give up. When someone knocks you down, stand up and dust yourself off and keep going! We just have to keep doing that.
