IWSG New Nonfiction Project
It’s time to share our wins and losses in the humbling game of WRITING. I appreciate Alex Cavanaugh for starting the Insecure Writers Support Group.
Thank you to the co-hosts for the October 7 posting of the IWSG: Ronel Janse van Vuuren, Liza at Middle Passages, JH Moncrieff, and Jemima Pett!
Instead of answering this month’s optional question, I want to share a writing update. Just as I was

What a thoughtful review. I liked his questions about the meaning of life and how those questions propelled him to return to his faith.

quote
“I had joined the rat race of modern meritocracy without any finish line in mind. I had gotten all the grades, the credentials, the degrees, and the job offers to impress other people. And man, were they impressed. Family would show me off at social functions and introduce me as the kid who went to Yale. I had all the external validation anyone could want, and yet I found this world unsatisfying. I found it unsatisfying because it couldn’t answer the big questions, and it seemed designed to distract from them or even to replace the normal yearnings of a healthy soul with something else. Many couples I met in this world were at some stage of a long-distance relationship. It always felt a bit bizarre—to give up a year with the person you love to make way for a job. Some couples would spend years apart to pursue their respective careers. What the hell is wrong with these people? I thought. In sixty years, we’ll all be dead, and they’ll have wasted so much of that time away from the person

“You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot help little men by tearing down big men.
You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.
You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn.
You cannot build character and courage by destroying men's initiative and independence.
And you cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they can and should do for themselves.”

We really are too much alike!!! I take a women and gender studies class whenever I can. I love it. I will most certainly check out the Far Side. Women and gender studies have been added to my curriculum along with chemistry and psychology. So while my major is biology, I will have emphasis in those areas.

Hehe. Has women/gender studies supplanted psychology as your major? I remember feeling really fired up about women's rights when I took women & gender studies classes in college.

I recall my women's studies classes as being quite eye-opening. Especially media literacy--understanding the intent underlying advertising and cultural messages aimed at women. I'm glad you're learning so much on your journey to making your dream a reality!

Hello hun, everything is fine. I'm in love with my women studies class. I loved that you are a psychologist and a writer. My dream in one. Thanks for asking.

They ask students to submit copies of essays, poem, etc to be added and include in the book. I was accept and voted third most read.
