Purpose: To share and encourage. Writers can express doubts and concerns without fear of appearing foolish or weak. Those who have been through the fire can offer assistance and guidance. It’s a safe haven for insecure writers of all kinds!
The awesome co-hosts for the March 4th posting of the IWSG are
Melissa Maygrove, Cathrina Constantine, Kate Larkinsdale, and Rebecca Douglass!

Optional question:
April 1 question - If you have a playlist (or could put one together) that either gets you in the groove to write or fits with one of your books, what is it? What type of music or what songs?
I often like music that matches the characters. So, for example, while I'm not normally a metal fan (my sons are and taught me how broad a genre it really is), I would listen to Power Metal groups as I was writing a couple of characters in my Safe Harbors series. One of the characters doesn't survive the modern-day pirate attack on a cruise, so it's kind of bittersweet.
Or if I'm writing action, I like epic soundtrack music. Usually I prefer music without words when I'm drafting, but not always.
What about you?
Are you a "only in silence" writer?
Or do you have tunes that put you in the mood?
