IWSG is posted the first Wednesday of every month, but I'm posting early this month. Explanation is below with my writing goals. It is the brain child of Ninja Captain Alex J. Cavanaugh. Get your fears and insecurities out or give words of encouragement. We're writers, let's support each other!
The awesome co-hosts for the August 3 posting of the IWSG will be Tamara Narayan, Tonja Drecker, Ellen @ The Cynical Sailor, Lauren @ Pensuasion, Stephen Tremp, and Julie Flanders!

This month, I have an insecurity many writers have: am I wasting time when I don't spend every second writing?
The other night, hubby was swearing at his new computer. He's building one and was waiting on a motherboard. First it got delivered to the wrong address and then when he finally got it and plugged it in, it didn't work! But it worked on his old computer. I found it really hard to write while he was trying to solve this problem. I wanted to be writing, but I couldn't help but want to help hubby out even though I know nothing about putting together computers. An entire evening down the drain, and when I went to bed, I felt quite guilty.

Along with our dishing our insecurities IWSG wants to know...
What was your very first piece of writing as an aspiring writer? Where is it now? Collecting dust or has it been published?
The first story I wrote when I started writing is definitely collecting dust on my hard drive. It's a hodgepodge of fantasy and paranormal with people from my real life as characters. What got me writing it was I was bored one day and thought, "Why not?" It was just for fun and I didn't intend on showing it to anyone. But that was probably the start of my writing journey.
