The awesome co-hosts for the February 7 posting of the IWSG are Janet Alcorn, SE White, Victoria Marie Lees, and Cathrina Constantine!
Every month, we announce a question that members can answer in their IWSG post. These questions may prompt you to share advice, insight, a personal experience or story. Include your answer to the question in your IWSG post or let it inspire your post if you are struggling with something to say.
Remember, the question is optional
February 7 question: What turns you off when visiting an author's website/blog? Lack of information? A drone of negativity? Little mention of author's books? Constant mention of books?

When visiting an author's website, I can't stand when the site is "under construction." Like, get it together, KAREN, and just do it. Kidding. Mine is currently under construction. ;-) I love authors' websites that are playful, interactive, and fun, so I'm mostly visiting kid-lit authors. Another plus is when they feature their books, because that's why I'm there, right? Aren't they allowed to show off their life's greatest accomplishments that cost them blood, sweat, and buckets of tears?
How is everyone emerging from winter's wild rollercoaster ride? Ice, snow, sleet, hail, sub-zero temps, thunder, thunder-snow...we've had it all in the short span of two weeks. I will say, compared to Wisconsin's winters, Missouri's are a walk in the park. We are back to a balmy fifty degrees, shorts weather, for sure.
I hope February finds you fully motivated to just do it, and get all the writing done. My son's birthday falls on Michael Jordan's birthday this month. With my son's height, we had high hopes he'd be a basketball star someday. Growing up, he had more brute strength like a football player and less finesse of a basketball player flying through the air and dunking a ball.
Don't compare yourself to others. Whatever you need to finish this month or start, just get it done. MJ and myself will be proud that you reached your goals.
