All these are great… There are some amazing writers out there who inspire me, on the off chance you aren’t familiar, look up Marion Roach Smith and Dani Shapiro….I dare say, you will not be sorry you did.
Great tips, Linda. Thanks for putting this together!
When I was bitching about writing once, someone said “Carol, writers write’ and that tweet from Jackie Collins reminded me of that good sound bite.
These are the fabs! They’re getting my FB share for the day. Thank you very much for compiling them 🙂
I am going to go stop talking…and dress up my pencils in tiny suits :)! Love the inspiration and the chuckle! Thank you!
Great quotes, Linda!
pencils in tiny suits? Classic!! My son is going to love this, I can’t wait to share
I love these, especially the one from Caira Conner.
LOVE these. Thanks. Caira Conner’s line is an absolute classic.
Such great tips!
I kind of love this. I have been thinking of doing a tweet-summary type of post recently but this is perfect. Thanks for the inspiration and the reminder to just write!
Love these, and once wrote a post about exactly what Caira Connor said!
I love them all especially bounce the ideas off your cat. lol. When my Neo was alive, I used to talk to him all the time about stuff. I knew the right answer when he tipped his head lol.
I loved all of these! My advice- Listen to the voices in your head. They are usually always right.
