Hello Everyone,
It is the first Wednesday of the month,
and IWSG Time.
IWSG is a writer support group created
and led 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

IWSG Day Question: How do you celebrate
when you achieve a writing goal / finish a story?
Celebrating A Milestone
I consider reaching a writing goal as a milestone, but I have to admit that I am usually knocked out when it happens. I sink deep into myself, and look back at the difficulties I faced in awe because I stood the test, and I am still standing. Afterward, I break out into tears because there is no greater feeling than knowing I held on and got through what ever it was I was tackling. Sometimes, it takes me two to three days to grasp what I’ve
accomplished.
After the tears stop flowing, I open a bottle of Tanqueray. Yes, you read correctly, I open a bottle of Tanqueray and pour out a double
jigger for me, turn on my favourite music and
relax as I knit or read or play a good game of solitaire or look at football or soccer.
On
such occasions I might even drink two or three double jiggers of Tanqueray. I don't always count how many. The number depends on
the day my victory takes place and the time needed to mentally work through it.
Wishing
all of you a lovely month of March and be safe as you walk through it.
Shalom
aleichem,
