You know what I love about us writers? We tend to tell the same little white lie, from which we will get very defensive when caught in it. Here goes… “I’m currently writing a novel.” Said the writer for three years. 🙂 When in reality... Yea, we all know what the real “writing” you’re doing [...]
Let’s say you have this scene stuck floating around in your head. The characters are clear and present, the words are all so perfectly expressed, the setting and placement of the scene is so exquisitely created all in your mind. You can see it. It fits like a sock in your story. Ah, what beauty you [...]
So the Panthers lost last night, as assumed, due to the fact that Manning might have played his last game and everyone loves Peyton (typical sore loss during a rather boring game, good nonetheless!). But on a high note we all were encouraged to believe in love with Coldplay, to wear mismatched shoes like Lady [...]
