Quotes that make me think....

  • "The only freedom which deserves the name is that of pursuing our own good, in our own way, so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs, or impede their efforts to obtain it." John Stuart Mill

Let your inner creator out.....


Wow... amazing, amazing, amazing....

I absolutely loved the 3 Day Novel Contest this year and am really pleased with my submission. Its got it all and I am going to fully develop it if it doesn't get picked up through the contest. As usual, the waiting is the hardest part. Sounds like a song doesn't it? *lol*

I've also been working on my childrens books - both alone and with my writing partner and am really excited about the direction we are taking and the progress we are making.

We are also moving forward with our Book Store idea and that is exciting, even if that is going to be about a year away.

I have some very exciting news about the picture I have in my header. I loved this so much I contacted the creator to get exclusive rights to it. I am going to incorporate it into my own personal logo, company letterhead etc,. I am working with the artist to have it personalized with the company name etc,. I loved this from the start and knew I wanted to work with it. Having the legal position to do so, makes it perfect. To be it exactly and perfectly represents the creativity and vision that comes from writing. Anything is possible. How cool is that?

It's a gorgeous rainy day here today and I am going to take full advantage of that and write to my hearts content... paid and unpaid.. *lol*

Have a wonderful day... the sun is just starting to show from within each of you today... let it grow until it explodes into the world around you... You are magnificent. Don't be afraid to show it and don't keep it to yourself.

Bring it on.... I am so ready...


The countdown has begun.... and I couldn't be more excited.

From thought to creation starts tomorrow night. Just like this picture, someone had the idea to create these two wonderful things to see what they would look like together. We know it isn't real - but a composite of a lot of things... and that perhaps is exactly what I do when I write. I take lots of different things from my own personal experience, knowledge and interests and mesh them together to see what happens. Sometimes it is a thing of beauty, other times just a first draft of something wonderful yet to come.

I hope whatever you are doing over the next few days fills you up to the creative brim and feeds even the wildest of your dreams....

See you deep in the pages of our minds...
