NO WRITER IS AN ISLAND...

I would love to write on the beach.

No Writer is an island. I joined Sean Taylor's Good Girls, Bad Guys, and Two-Fisted Action Blog to talk about the mentors and influencers that helped shape me into the neurotic mess of a writer I am today. Read the full blog with my and other authors responses here.

Every writer can look back to someone who either inspired him or her to start or to stick with it. With Mother's Day all around us, and folks still in a mood to express thanks to those someones who helped make us who we are, let's keep it going this week by honoring those folks who inspired us to write and to write better.

A big thank you to all those who pushed, encouraged, supported, and kicked me int he ass when I needed it.

NO EXPIRATION DATE!

A timely message. 

I've been feeling down about the one step forward, two steps backward trajectory my writing career has been on the past couple years. This morning, I ran across the above image on-line and just knew I should share it in case others are going through similar blahs.

I think we all get a little down about our creativity at times. 2015 has definitely been a roller coaster year for me. It didn't end up where I thought it would, but at least I'm still on the tracks.

We all need a little encouragement from time to time and sometimes these internet memes pass in front of me at the most opportune times. Found this at just the right moment, I think. I don't know who originally created, but thanks to whoever did and to the person who shared it where I could see it.

Okay, I should get busy. These stories aren't going to write themselves, are they?
