IWSG Day, November 7, 2018, Tweak and Finish

Hello Everyone,




My report:

Rejection: Glimmer Train, Very Short Fiction Story

No New Submissions this month

 Tweak and Finish




Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Wishing all of you a lovely month of November.

Shalom aleichem,

Pat Garcia



  1. When I'm writing, something has to go. Once I've said goodbye and focus on writing, I usually don't miss it.
    Good luck with the revisions.

  2. You are such an Energizer Bunny that I'm delighted that you are learning to back off on things rather than adding more to your crazy life. GREAT JOB!!! Good Luck on your revisions and submission!! Hugs to you!

  3. I'm sure you'll find your place in the literary world, Pat. And, yes, life is all about change. In Zen they say "All structures are unstable." From one structure to another, keep submitting. There's an acceptance in your future. :-)

  4. Here from Alex's blog. Seems like you have a lot of decisions to make. I'm seeing a common pattern among us writers, there's not enough time to get things done, LOL. I wrote about the same things. Sometimes life gets in the way. Hope you figure it out. When you do please let me know what you did. Have a blessed month.

  5. Wonderful poem, Pat! During the most recent time change, I realized I could do with just one more hour a day. Please!

  6. Most enjoyable post to read, Good luck for the future,


  7. Good luck with the revisions! Nothing wrong with repriortizing. I had to do it with my new job.

  8. Good luck with your 'tweaking'.
    Great poem. Thanks for posting it.
