Here we are at another edition of IWSG monthly question and post!  Is it really May, already?
 Have any of your readers ever responded to your writing in a way that you didn't expect? If so, did it surprise you? Yeah, that they actually liked it! 😂😂😂 On a more serious side, I guess the response that effected me the most was when I received my first award for one of my novels. In all honesty and humility, I was shocked. Many of the strong points they highlighted about my writing were things I hadn't noticed, like strong character development and my snarky use of humor. I just write that way. LOL *Side Splat: I've been struggling with my writing since Covid began. It's not from fear, though, but from the realization of how short life is, how precious my family is to me, and how each of us has a purpose here beyond ourselves. I've been concentrating on that, NOT ignoring you all. I will forever keep you in my prayers and well-wishes. Hoping to write a longer post on this at some point in the future. 

MORE PARTICIPANTS And a huge 'Thank You' goes out to our co-hosts for this month. Make sure you stop by to pay them a visit, too! Erika Beebe, PJ Colando, Tonja Drecker, Sadira Stone, and Cathrina Constantine!  So, what about you, fellow writer? Anything a reader mentioned about your writing surprise you?
SHERI~💖
