A little later in the day, but…

Good evening, Write Edge readers! I hope you all had a lovely weekend. It’s Monday, albeit a little later than I typically like to post, but I’m here!

First up, this week’s short fiction. It’s the second Monday of the month, which means writing in second person. If you’re not a writer, using second person typically means writing with the word “you” a lot. It’s where the narrator is addressing the reader and essentially pulling them into the story.

Here’s the excerpt to this week’s short story, which I think demonstrates:

When I touched the glass, though, and realized my flesh wasn’t burning and that you could see me, I knew the wizard had lied. Had you met him? Had he lied to you too? If he had lied about this, what else had he lied about?

Read the whole story now on The Write Edge Writing Workshop!

On Wednesday, I’ll share my latest book review. Earlier this year, the book The Renaissance of Gwen Hathaway by Ashley Schumacher released, and in the middle of the week I’ll let you know what I thought of it. Find that review (and plenty of others) on The Write Edge Bookshelf!

Finally, it’s back to Instagram on Friday for all sorts of fun writing and non-writing posts. Also, I’m quite proud of the fact that today I set up a Linktree for myself. Now all of my most important links are in one handy-dandy place. Check it out here for purchasing links and more, and feel free to share it!

Have a lovely week, readers! Hug someone you love this week. Life is way too short to wait.
