IWSG DAY, APRIL 5, 2023, MY FIRST BOOK: TURN THE LIGHT ON, (A Short Story) By Pat Garcia





 

 

 

 

Good Morning, EVERYONE!

 

Welcome to our fourth IWSG Day of the year, 2023. 

 

IWSG is a writers' support group created and led by Alex Cavanaugh. 

 

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!

 

This group is an immense help to many of us who do not mind sharing our insecurities and successes or giving others encouragement and support. 

So, if you are interested and would like to join, the link below will lead you directly to us.

The awesome co-hosts for the April 5 posting of the IWSG are Jemima Pett, Nancy Gideon, and Natalie Aguirre!

 

 

Submissions: None for this month.

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

MY FIRST BOOK: TURN THE LIGHT ON, (A Short Story)

 

It took me twelve years to finally get the guts to go after what I wanted, and that was a long-term career in writing the type of stories I like to read. 

I stopped hiding, realizing that my actions would transform my life. I have no regrets. If I had to do it again, I would have decided much sooner than I did. 

Nothing compares to doing what you know you have been called to do. 


Have a lovely month of April, and take care.

 

Shalom shalom

  8. Yeah, lots of courage is required before we publish our first book. But you did it. And I'm sure you'll do it again.
