Are you off on a seasonal holiday?
Have a happy one! I like the quotes, but think the best thing a writer can do is to be true to oneself.
Love the Steinbeck guote, because everytime I write, I feel like I don't know what I'm doing, but just taking a chance. =D
Happy Holidays!
Great quotes! Thanks for taking the time to type them out.
I love the Stephen Leigh quote. Very true!
Love your blog - wow, a breakfast with INXS? How awesome is that?
Have a very happy holiday season!
Thanks for the quotes! I too hope you have a wonderful holiday season!
I absolutely love the Hemingway quote. Mind if I snatch it? It's soooo perfect! BTW: What is that pic of -- the tiny word processor? It's too cute. I have an Alphasmart NEO and I love it, but that pic got me curious. So now I gotta know! :)
Have a happy New Year!!
Hi Paisley:
I have an Alphie NEO too (Santa just brought it this Xmas); the pic is just from a search for pics of word processors. Don't worry, Alpies rule!
Wow! Excellent quotes!
I have just heard about the Alphasmart NEO, and here it is pictured on your blog! It seems like an amazing device. Did you purchase yours in Toronto?
Thanks
