Interesting Thoughts from Other Writers That Made Me Go Hmmm 🤔 or LOL 😂

My Weekly WTA: What The Ah-ha Moments — Issue 11

I wanted to do shoutouts to authors, and I was going to do it in a newsletter, but everyone is doing one of those, it seems. I recently deleted most of the ones I subscribed to and didn’t even read the ones I think are stellar.

I decided that starting my own was not the best investment of my time. However, I still wanted to put together a piece highlighting things I learned or authors that made me laugh hysterically -in a good way.

This leads me to my first read to share that might make you go 😲 and 🤔

This first story by one of my favorite authors on the platform, CarolF, will have you thinking about what you write online.

Those of us not growing up with social media use a more cautious approach. But should we? Well, read Carol’s article to find out what she thinks.

Now this next one will also have you going 🤔

This one by James Bellerjeau poses the question we all want to know.

If you could choose only one of the following: beauty, wealth, or intelligence, which would you pick?

Your answer may surprise you. I know mine did.

This one will have you doing a little of this 🤔 and that 😊

It’s a heartwarming story about how something as simple as a cosmetic bag with a cat picture brought a family closer together.

If you haven’t already, I highly recommend reading this beautiful tale by Frances A. Chiu. It’s worth your time.

While this next story will have you doing some of this 😂

Kristy C made my list last week, quickly becoming one of my all-time favorites to read on the platform.

For any of us who have suffered through lawn mowing or leaf blowing at the most inopportune times, this story will have you shaking your head, nodding in agreement, and laughing pretty hard when you find out when your window of opportunity exists to be one with your yard.

Medium on my mind was the week’s theme for me with this 🤔 and 😂

  • The first article focused on all the crazy and contradictory writing advice we face — how it is so confusing to know what to do.
  • The other is about the new form of clapping and running. It’s the new rise of fake engagement — don’t be fooled.
  • Lastly, if you have gift cards to use, you may want to take a peek at these numbers I found. If anything, it will motivate you to use those gift cards before becoming part of the billion dollars lost yearly.

Happy Reading 📃

In the meantime, I will keep discovering, keep laughing, and keep the ‘ah-ha’ moments coming. So, Stay tuned for more exciting thoughts next time that will make you go Hmmm 🤔 or LOL 😂.
