The last full week of July…

Hello, Write Edge readers. It’s the last full week of July, and I’m sitting here in my quiet writing studio looking at the shaded window and how the sunlight hits it. Even though it’s hard to come in here every day and face the reality of my father being gone, I’m also grateful for every day that I do have to come in here and work on my art.

Speaking of Dad and art, I’ve posted my latest haiku for you in my #yearlonghaikuproject. Today I broke the rules a little. Haiku are typically one-stanza poems, but what I felt really needed two stanzas. I still followed the forms of the traditional poetry style, though, so I figured it’s okay to go my own way with this one. Check it out now on The Write Edge Writing Workshop.

Last week I shared what I #amreading in my #bookreviewpreview. On Wednesday you’ll find out what I thought of The Faculty Lounge by Jennifer Mathieu. Come back for that on The Write Edge Bookshelf.

Finally, it’s back to Instagram on Friday and a few bits and pieces from my writing sessions and non-writing times. Look for previous posts by finding me on the app with my handle, @EktaRGarg, or go to my Facebook author page.

Have a great week, readers, and don’t forget to tell a loved one this week you care about them. Life is too short not to.
