The post-Valentine’s week of work

Hello, Write Edge readers! It’s a rainy day here in Central Illinois, but I’m keeping myself warm with lots of writing and thinking about writing. I’ve taken the first tentative steps toward making those publishing dreams come true. It’s exciting and — this might sound weird but also might make sense to many of you — calming all at the same time. I’m glad to get this train out of the station finally.

But first, on to our regular content for the week. This week’s motivational quote delves into the how we end things. I think, if we look even deeper, the implication here is to put all of ourselves into a matter. Only then can we succeed and feel that deep sense of satisfaction that we gave it our all.

“I think a good ending hangs in the air like a musical note. It’s just done.”—Amy Bloom

Next it’s to this week’s new short fiction. I’ve written another flash piece, so I can’t share an excerpt, but I guess the topic of love is still on my brain even though Valentine’s Day is done. Be sure to check it out here on The Write Edge Writing Workshop.

In the middle of the week, I’ll post that book review I promised all of you. Cassie Beasley wrote a sequel to her book Circus Mirandus. The sequel is called The Bootlace Magician, and I’ll share my thoughts on it this Wednesday on The Write Edge Bookshelf.

On Thursday, I’ll bring you the third installment of the newest feature on The Write Edge: Thursday R.E.A.D.s. This month I tackled The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern. If you didn’t get a chance to read the first two installments of my thoughts on the book as a R.eviewer and an E.ditor, you can find them here before I share what I thought of the book as an A.uthor this Thursday.

Finally, at the end of the week, it’s back to Instagram. Check out my previous posts with my handle, @EktaRGarg, or on my Facebook author page where there’s other fun content too. Then come back to see my latest Insta-pics on Friday.

Have a fantastic week, readers!
