IWSG Day - April 5, 2017, Honouring the A to Z Blog Challenge 2017





Hello Everyone,

It is the first Wednesday of the month, and IWSG Time. 

IWSG is a writer support group created by Alex Cavanaugh. It is a big help to many of us who do not mind sharing our insecurities, our successes or giving encouragement and help to others. 

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

My report:

Submissions March 2017

Glimmer Train – The Box in the Loft
Lascaux Review – The Woman and Her Dream
Masters Review – Turn the Lights On

I had one submission, outstanding since last year in May or June:  Found out through one of my critique groups that Wordhaus is defunct and no longer publishing.









Honouring the A to Z Blog Challenge 2017




 Writers and bloggers from all over the world left the starting line April first and started marching or running toward the finishing line of the A to Z Blog Challenge.  Normally, I would be one of those writers, but this year, my priorities do not permit it. However, I wish those who are participating the very best, and I hope that everyone who starts crosses the finishing line.

Thanks to the A to Z Blog Challenge, I have learned much about storytelling.  There are some astonishing writers among the whole bunch of writers participating.

As for me, I am moving toward another finishing line.  When I cross it, I will tell you all about it.


Wishing all of you a fantastic April and be safe.
Until next month, 

Shalom aleichem,











Pat Garcia

  2. Would've been nice if they'd put up a notice that they're no longer operational... So far the AtoZChallenge is going well :-) Happy writing.

  7. What a shame that publisher went under. I'm glad you at least know what happened though.
    Take care and I look forward to hearing about that finish line when you cross it!
