My Weekly WTA: What The Ah-ha Moments — Issue 13

Image created by Author using Dall-E 3

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.

Well, my Medium peeps, I am late in the game getting this out. I wish I could say I had a good reason, but I don’t, so I won’t pretend I do. We are still in a deep freeze over here. However, we are at least in the positive 20s rather than the negative 20s, so that’s a massive improvement.

Without further ado, let’s get into the recommendations, shall we?

I realized mine this week were in the single digits, as in only 1 😂

But it’s about my process of dealing with structured writing versus my creative surges that come and go.

If you haven’t gotten a chance to read it, take a look and let me know what you think.

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 😂.

P.S. — If you found this relatable or interesting, why not hit the follow button and subscribe? It’s like building a little community, and you’ll be the first to know when there’s something new.
