This Is Me--2024 A to Z Theme

My A to Z Themes in the past have covered a range of topics and for 2025 the theme is a random assemblage of things that are on my mind--or that just pop into my mind. Whatever! Let's just say I'll be "Tossing It Out" for your entertainment or however it is you perceive these things.

Could Have Should Have ( #IWSG )

 

          If thinking was doing then I would have done a whole lot of stuff in my life....


  The Insecure Writer's Support Group


Join us on the first Wednesday of each month in Alex J. Cavanaugh's Insecure Writer's Support Group--a forum of writers who gather to talk about writing and the writer's life. For a complete list of participants visit Alex's Blog. 
     The co-hosts for the August 5 posting of the IWSG are Shannon Lawrence, Diedre Knight, Liza, and Pat Garcia.




August 5 question - As a writer/author what is something you regret? Or something that you wish you'd done differently in your writing process?





            No regrets is my motto, but, yeah, I could have done a lot more differently.   And what I could have--should have--done differently is write more.  Same as now.  I need to write more.

        I've been thinking a lot about that lately...

    I've people prompting me to write more, maybe a charcuterie book, but until I really want to, it's not going to happen.

    No time like the present. :) A bit on the nose, I know, but that's all I can think of when I feel like that.

    I suspect a lot of writers feel the same. Any plans to accomplish it?

    Do your thinking at the keyboard or with pen in had.

    Wish I knew whose quote that is... Happy writing!
