Finding Something Friday on Eventitis

by

I found my column in MSL today and I seriously busted out laughing.

Um, not that I think I’m that incredibly funny. I mean, I am kinda funny. But the thing is, The Beneficent Mr. Hall and I bailed on an event the week after I wrote the column.

It will all make sense after you read “Eventitis” on page 15. And P.S. If at any time in the future you invite me/us to an event, and we don’t make it…well, that, too, will make sense.

Um, not that I would ever bail on you.

Finding Words of Wisdom (From Writers You Know)

by

When I stumbled upon this list of 101 writers and their words of wisdom, I knew I had to share.

First of all, I LOVE quotes, and the pithier, the better. It’s like a little learning lesson, isn’t it?

And secondly, I’m all for wisdom. And when the wisdom has to do with writing, I feel behooved to jump on it.

So, check out this list, provided by Online College. Someone went to a lot of trouble so that you, the wisdom-seeking writer, could find a TON of quotes in one place.

P.S. Maurice Sendak’s advice about revision is an eye-opening keeper, and Roald Dahl made me smile. I’ll keep these words in my writing heart:

 “And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.”

Have you found a favorite yet? Let me know whose words of wisdom you’ll keep in your writing heart!
