Everybody wins in my world - unless you suck

I don’t know how many times each of you stops by. When you choose to comment or when you choose to lurk. Either way I’m thankful. Though I’m sure you will notice by now that titles have changed on each blog post. All last month I was on such a time crunch with writing that I stuck to a regular blog schedule and did them a MONTH in advance. Now I’m a week in advance and it still feels good to be ahead of schedule.


The week ahead just allows me to be more creative.

Today’s post is fun (as I try to make all my other posts as well).

Below are some fun little writing things I found online. They gave me a little chuckle.

Be more or less specific.


Don’t be redundant; don’t use more words than necessary; it’s highly superfluous.


Comparisons are as bad as clichés


Copy from one, it’s plagiarism; copy from two, it’s research.


I write to escape… to escape poverty.


Writing is a lonely job, unless you’re a drinker, in which case you always have a friend within reach.


When I was a little girl, they called me a liar, but now that I am grown up, they call me a writer.


Have any of your own?

Happy Friday!!!

Today I'm keeping it simple... a few quotes...

1. Your favorite piece of writing will always be your next one.
2. Stand in the rain with your face turned upward every chance you get.
3. Every writer spends a lifetime as a writer-in-training.
4. Every good writer is a sponge: soak it up, wring it out.
5. A fair number of fiction writers have been avid liars since childhood.

So if the snow is falling or the rain is coming stand in the middle of it all and enjoy the moment. If the sun is shinning spend a day outside to soak it up.

Write a little, read a little, love a lot.

Have a fab weekend!

Why We Rock

They're everywhere.

Each one of them is awesome (including me).
