Let’s kick off this weeks Tweets of the Week with a few from one of my favorite tweeters, @chipmunkofpower, especially when she does the back-and-forth dialogue.

@thelaceylondon makes it into Tweets of the Week often, but when she’s pushing tweets like this, you can see why. There’s a lot in her timeline to encourage us as writers and creators. Finish your first draft, then worry about perfecting it.

I am drawn to people like this. I find their passion and focus contagious. Maybe I’m drawn to it because I wish I had more of this in myself. It’s a constant area of work for me.

 

This one made me smile sheepishly. I think I’ve said a different version of this a million times in my 17 years with my better half. “I want to share, I just need you to push a little harder. Oh, not that hard! That’s too much. We’re closed today!”

I’ve learned how to be more vulnerable. It’s a work in progress.

 

 

Sometimes we need care and love. Sometimes we need a kick in the ass. Let this advice from Lauren Beukes be the kick in the pants you need. Finish the book! Don’t make excuses. Write it!

Be grateful for the new day friends. There is so much power in gratitude. More than just a fluffy feeling of giving back. There is growing scientific evidence that gratitude can help you focus and succeed in accomplishing your goals.

 

 

Haha! So true. It never comes out the way we picture it in our mind. Reminds me of writing advice from Ta-Nahisi Coates. This is the plague of every creative-type. The work is never done.

 

 

The only two ways to get better at writing are to write and to read. Work on your craft. Write!

 

 

I loved this tweet that went viral. So cool. Even if it’s fake, which I hope it isn’t, this is straight out of a movie. This couple didn’t meet and get married until years later, but found they were at this monument on the same day at the same time taking a picture years before. Life is fun.

 

I’m not sure exactly what it was about this tweet from @MaraloScott, but it really spoke to me. Something about the earnestness about it. Most people on social meeting push their children in front of us as a way to get compliments about their kids or their parenting skills. It’s transparent and tiresome. This wasn’t that at all. I found this tweet moving and heart warming. 🙏🏽

Raise your hand if you know this feeling all too well!

 

 

 

Don’t quit on your passion no matter how many additional peaks you encounter. Continue to create. Continue to write. Persist!

 

Have a wonderful weekend, friends! Keep writing!

February 20, 2018 / / 3 Comments

What makes an author famous? Well, besides their great works and talent.

Here are 20 famous writers who happened to have some curious quirks and habits.

It’s been two months since we’ve had Tweets of the Week, so let’s jump right in…

This one is so me! It’s coffee time or wine time when it’s writing time. I’ve given up alcohol for Lent, though, so… pray for me.

I loved @JamesLeeSchmidt’s response here. So true! Why are all of us adults too Stupid?!?

 

These next ones are in a series. I was tagged to share a cover that inspired me without explaining why. Here’s the cover chosen when I was originally tagged, the cover that I chose, and some of the cover responses I received.

I said don’t explain it @williamsbnikki!!!! 😀 🤣

Great covers. Thanks for sharing!

 

 

I enjoyed this next one:

I don’t own a cat, but I know what cat’s are and I know how cat’s be creeping. I love ’em, but this is so true. Made me laugh.

 

These last two tweets seem to be a perfect way to kickoff the weekend.

Be patient with yourselves, friends. Take time with you goals. Take time to create what you need to. Be patient.

 

 

Do what you do because you love it, regardless if others do too. Take heart!

 

Go create, friends! Set your goals. Find your voice and follow it!

The Most Interesting Things of the Week

February 15, 2018 / / 1 Comment

 

One regular thing I’m going to be doing in 2018 is a message to all my email followers containing the three things I found most captivating and inspiring over the past week. It may be an excerpt from a book I read, a podcast I listened to, or a video I saw. It may be anything. The goal is to give you some fun and thoughtful material to consider over the weekend, and hopefully get you to think and to smile.

Creativity comes from all sorts of places. You never know when creativity will strike you. I’ve always wanted to have curated things sent to me that someone I trust has found fascinating and inspiring. There’s too much content out there these days. Having someone narrow and hone that for me, so I can get right to the creativity and inspiration is my dream. I haven’t found it yet, but at least I can try and provide my dream to you. If I can’t have it, you might as well get it!

If you’re not on the email list, you can sign up for The Weekly Break below. The goal will be for an email to go out a couple Fridays a month and, if all goes as planned, it will go out every Friday morning. This Friday will be the first run. Sign up now!
