Stephanie over at the Writers Cocoon is giving away a copy of her book A Bitch Named Karma (I WAN'T IT) she needs five more followers by today, so if you could please hop over and help me out, and her with her awesome novel I'd appreciate it!! ;)
May your weekend be filled with many inspired works! Just to help with the inspiration here are a few quotes and inspiring sentences from Writer's Little Instruction Book by Paul Raymond Martin
1. Trust your hunches
"trust your hunches... hunches are usually based on facts filed away just below the conscious level. Warning! Do not confuse your hunches with wishful thinking. This is the road to disaster." - Dr. Joyce Brothers
2. See life as it is, but write about life as it might be.
3. What works, what doesn't
"If it's working, keep doing it.
If it's not working, stop doing it.
If you don't know what to do, don't do anything." - Dr. Melvin Konner
4. The road to unfinished work is paved with good intentions.
5. The road to published work is always under construction.
Happy Writing!!!
PS - I'm going to see Eat, Pray, Love this evening and if you haven't heard of it please snag the book, you won't be disappointed!!! Squee!!

Kick Ass Quotes
So I figured If CrAzY please apply was so successful we should continue with some awesome inspiration and motivational crap that makes us feel more together as a whole writing community. I mean if we don't stick together everyone will think we're crazy so here are some fun things I've recently come by!!!
1. Make eavesdropping a way of life. {I mean how else are you going to come up with some good shizz?}
2. Writing fiction is a matter of sitting down to tell yourself a good story. {It aint gonna write itself}
3. If you don't return calls from your muse, there's a chance they'll stop calling. {so listen up people because if you don't they'll find someone else who will}
4. It is better to write poorly than to not write at all. {Go ahead... suck it up!}
5. Every good writer is a sponge: soak it up, wring it out. {You might wanna change it sometimes too... no one wants to be known as the smelly sponge of the bunch}
Feel free to add any extras if you have them!!!
BTW - Sorry I've been a bad blog commentor this week, I've been working hard on my revisions and had to put something aside, but fear not because next week I am to be on my best behavior!! Hooray for finishing post-it revisions!!
