IWSG DAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2024, MY HORROR By Pat Garcia @TheIWSG #IWSG @pat_garcia

Welcome to our ninth IWSG Day of the year 2024. 

 

IWSG is a writers’ support group created and led by Alex J. 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 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.

Our Twitter handle is @TheIWSG, and the hashtag is #IWSG.

The awesome co-hosts for the September 4 posting of the IWSG are Beth Camp, Jean Davis, Yvonne Ventresca, and PJ Colando!

I know I’ve been singing this song since July 5, and I won’t promise to stop singing it, but I just had to show off my first Paperback book, THE POWER OF TOUCH. I received 5 copies yesterday, and now, next to my piano, they bring me joy. I’m smiling.

MY HORROR

If there is one rule that messed me up in my English Classes and still does as a writer, it is the use of commas. Sometimes, I think commas hunt me down in my sleep; the little curvy, black crooks at the top grab me by the neck, and choke me. 

My solution: I have a good proofreader, so I no longer experience the horror.

Have a lovely month of September, and be safe.

 

Shalom shalom,

Pat Garcia
