IWSG 133: A Gift List for Writers
The OPTIONAL IWSG QUESTION THIS MONTH As a writer, what was one of the coolest/best gifts you ever received? But first, Best of the season to all of you! NOW, MY ANSWER I’ve had this “hobby” for over fifty years and I’ve been published three times. Two short stories and a book, and that was a long, long time ago. After that I lost my mojo, so there was that.

NEW RELEASE! LOW WATER BY JENNIFER LANE @jenlanebooks @pat_garcia @patgarcia.bsky.social @amwriting #writingjourney
Two lives marked by trauma. One chance to rediscover hope. In the sun-drenched Lowcountry of South Carolina, a swim coach haunted by tragedy and a psychologist devoted to healing cross paths just as their lives unravel. He once believed Olympic-sized dreams and awful dad jokes could get him through anything, but waves of grief threaten to pull him under. She has built a career navigating others through pain, yet she struggles to confront her own.

The OPTIONAL IWSG QUESTION THIS MONTH When you began writing, what did you imagine your life as a writer would be like? Were you right, or has this experience presented you with some surprises along the way? MY ANSWER I never thought I’d be here. Way back when there was no internet, or blogging. Writing poetry and letters to burned served their purpose.

Looking at portfolios to find some covers for the next few months. Not going well. So much slop. When I finally manage to avoid it, everything is so dark and shadowy. Color and light and detail appear to be gone from the world. (I may need to start doing this in shorter bursts.)

The OPTIONAL IWSG QUESTION THIS MONTH What is the most favourite thing you have written, published or not? And why? My Answer My favourite thing might not be someone else's favourite thing, but I'm pretty proud of my work. I know why I haven’t been published lately. I live somewhere between impostor syndrome and bravery and too thin a skin. So instead of focusing on my psychology, let’s look at something else.
