A New Era

Sorry I'm late -- I'm taking a summer course and it's kicking my butt!

On to our IWSG for June 2023!

It's summer. For me, that usually means I get a lot of extra time, even with travel plans and this course I'm taking. Time I'd like to dedicate to writing. We'll see if I get half the things done I'd like to do this summer. At least as I get older, I'm more realistic and less anxious about it all. Whatever I can do is good enough.

So make sure you enjoy your summer! Take care of what you can, spend time with friends and family, and write to your heart's content!

I should have a better post next month -- and hopefully more writing news to report!

PS - Stop by the IWSG Anthologies website for a great article by Alex J Cavanaugh about the origins of the IWSG

Meet the Puppies!!

For this month's IWSG post, I'm just going to share some puppy pics. Meet Wagner & Jackson.

They are wearing me out! But they're getting better, and they'll surely boost your mood!

Enjoy a brighter May!

Hope things are bright and sunny for you!

And please try to stop by the IWSG Anthology Blog for a great post with advice on Rapid Releasing a Series by Diane Wolfe!

Rainbows and Fresh Cut Grass

The sights and scents of Spring -- so refreshing!

Happy April IWSG day, my writer friends. It's time for new life, blooming fields, baby animals, and thunderstorms! Spring can be violent as the cold, stubborn winds of winter spar with the waves of warm breezes headed for summer. It's never a smooth transition. I hope you are safe as the changes blow through.

As for me and mine, we are enjoying our new puppies! The house was so empty when our sweet, old dog passed, especially for my hub. Now there's new life and chaos again--just like we like it. The fond memories linger as new ones are created.

Two last notes:

1. The IWSG Anthology Blog also has new life. We've had a good response from our writers to keep it going. Today we have a post about Character Creation from Sylvia Ney who has appeared in both PARALLELS and FIRST LOVE anthologies. Check it out!
2. You know it's been a while since you've written when your newsletter website informs you they are shutting you down for abandonment! I can't believe I haven't sent out a newsletter in two years. Shame on me. So I got off my duff and sent one out.

So tell me: What are your favorite parts of Spring? Drop me a descriptive Spring scene in the comments. Or let me know what writing endeavors you're up to. You inspire me!

Thanks for stopping by!

Now enjoy these puppies and spring animals...
