You ain't Shakespeare

Basically...write YOUR story.
Stop stressing about perfection in your writing.
You ain't Shakespeare.

Confessions...

I have a few confessions I need to admit to:

I sometimes dog-ear library books. *cringes* I do it very lightly but still, I bend the page.
 Please don't tell the librarians.
There are just certain sentences or phrases that I love and sometimes I want to go back and reread my favorites. Sometimes, they are an answer to my writers block of the book I'm working on. Other times, I just love the words and want to hold onto them
When I confessed my guilt to a friend, she gaped at me in surprise and repulsion. Then kindly suggested those little sticky tabs. Brilliant! Why hadn't I thought of that? So I now have two packages of sticky tab thingys.


* How many of you mark a book you're reading? With, uh, those sticky things?

Next, I collect quotes.
There is is. I am a quote junkie.
My biggest Pinterest board is "Quoteth."
I enjoy making memes for my blogs, which become my Foto Friday posts.
I get emails from value.com that send me a couple of quotes a week.

This is one of my favorite writing quotes:

If there's a book you really want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.

Toni Morrison

* What is your favorite quote?


Here is a link for more writing quotes. There are some good ones here:

Thanks for stopping by and being part of my confessional. There are many more confessions I could tell but two is enough for this month. Phew.

Ernest Hemingway Quote

"The best way is always to stop when you are going good and when you know what will happen next. If you do that every day … you will never be stuck. Always stop while you are going good and don’t think about it or worry about it until you start to write the next day. That way your subconscious will work on it all the time. But if you think about it consciously or worry about it you will kill it and your brain will be tired before you start."
