Barbara got an email from NaNoWriMo about the writing event. Wow, I haven’t written anything in a year. The last time that I wrote something was when I enter a contest to write a short story but I lost. It was a bummer. I put all my time and energy into that writing project.

I have a female cat; Ms. Eboni MY FAVORITE QUOTES THAT I LIVE BY AS A WRITER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! “If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot.” – Stephen King This is my 2nd Favorite Quote You Must Write Every Single Day of Your Life To sum it all up, if you want to write, if you want to create, you must be the most sublime fool that God ever turned out and sent rambling. You must write every single day of your life. You must read dreadful dumb books and glorious books, and let them wrestle in beautiful fights inside your head, vulgar one moment, brilliant the next. You must lurk in libraries and climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads. I wish for you a wrestling match with your Creative Muse that will last a lifetime. I wish craziness and foolishness and madness upon you. May you live with hysteria, and out of it make fine stories—science fiction or otherwise. Which finally means, may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days? And out of that love, remake a world. RAY BRADBURY Keep writing; reading & being creative, Vixen ;-)
