What is your opinion? Is it who or what? #Author #WritingCommunity Here’s mine…
It’s not what we have in life, but who we have in our life that matters. Good morning.

I’m a writer. I’m supposed to be writing… #Author #WritingCommunity But I’m procrastinating.

Authors - in your writing have you ever used sleep deprivation as a form of torture in your writing? #Author #WritingCommunity We may be contributing to the issue without realising it.
Chapters ending in cliffhanger tempting us to read the next are the reason we don’t get enough sleep.

As a writer, you come to realise good grammar has many side benefits. #Author #WritingCommunity Such as…
My wife texted me this morning and typed, “your great.” I replied, “No, you’re great.”

She’s been in a good mood ever since. I should correct her grammar more often.

Good morning authors. Remember this – when you are stuck – it is not a problem. #Author #WritingCommunity Because…
There is nothing called a problem. It’s just absence of an idea to find the solution. Good morning.

It only takes one - one special character in a book… #Author #WritingCommunity Or one special person in your life.
Sometimes it only takes one person to change your life. One to be there for you, to push you, to believe in you. It only takes one.

In writing there’s an arc, and characters have to change. #Author #WritingCommunity But be careful with what changes…
Let your smile change the world, but don’t let the world change your smile.

It’s time to take a snapshot of your life… #Author #WritingCommunity And reassess.
Life is like a camera. Focus on what’s important. Capture the good times. Develop from the negatives. And if things don’t work out, take another shot.

If you have been holding off… #Author #WritingCommunity Today is a good day to start !
Hard truth. If you wait until you feel better to start living, you might be waiting forever. Go live your life. Do it sad. Do it anxious. Do it uncertain. Because healing doesn’t always come before the experience. Sometimes, the experience is what heals you.

Life is never easy. We have to make it easy – sometimes by ignoring something and sometimes by accepting something. Good morning.

Tis the season for holiday miracles… #Author #WritingCommunity But I’m not sure this is one of them.
I found $20 in a parking lot and thought to myself, “What would Jesus do? “

So I turned it into wine.

Only a writer would notice. #Author #WritingCommunity Or maybe an English teacher…
My wife texted me this morning and typed, “Your great.” I replied, “No, you’re great. “

She’s been in a good mood ever since. I should correct her grammar more often.

They say laughter is the best medicine. #Author #Writing Here’s a little smile to start your day…
Do you ever wake up, kiss, the current person sleeping beside you, and feel glad that you are alive? I just did and apparently will not be allowed on this airline again…
