New feature on The Workshop now up

Hello, Write Edge readers, and happy Monday. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how to finish out the year on The Write Edge Writing Workshop. I thought I’d spend all of 2024 writing haiku for my Monday posts to help me deal with my father’s death. It’s been hard, I won’t lie, but it also has been made better by all the wonderful people in my life who stand by me, behind me, and, on the occasion I need it, around me as I mourn.

My dad was an incredible man, and he was always teaching people about things in life. Thinking of him and what he taught me, I thought it might be better for me to go through the last few months of 2024 trying to do a little teaching myself. So for the rest of the year, I’m going to spend every Monday sharing a piece of writing from around the web and explaining what, in my professional opinion as an author and editor, it does well and what the takeaways are for other writers.

I’m calling this new series “Workshopping the story,” and the first installment is up now on The Write Edge Writing Workshop. Today I’m offering thoughts on a piece of micro fiction from 101 Words.

This past Friday I shared in my #bookreviewpreview what I #amreading for this Wednesday’s newest review. In the middle of the week, find out what I thought of Westfallen by the sister-brother writing duo, Ann and Ben Brasheres. You’ll get that review on The Write Edge Bookshelf.

Finally, on Friday, it’s back to Instagram and bits and piece from my writing and non-writing pursuits. Missed previous posts? Check them out now on the app with my handle, @EktaRGarg, or on my Facebook author page.

Have a great day, readers, and remember to tell a loved one you care about them. Life is too short not to.
