The Sum of all Your Parts

February 28, 2010

“The home gar­dener is part sci­en­tist, part artist, part philoso­pher, part plow­man.” — John R. Whit­ing
I like this quote because we are all so many parts of dif­fer­ent things to make up the whole of who we are. When you write a char­ac­ter does he or she have a lot of parts? Can you name […]

Prose in Three Steps

February 21, 2010

Work on good prose has three steps: a musi­cal stage when it is com­posed, an archi­tec­tonic one when it is built, and a tex­tile one when it is woven. — Wal­ter Ben­jamin
I like this quote. It reminds me not to skip steps for one thing. It also makes writ­ing feel like a dance, a process […]

Makeup as Self-Expression

February 19, 2010

“Makeup is a really good form of self-expression — it’s your win­dow into the world”. - Dick Page
Write about some­one who wears a lot of makeup, how does a lot of makeup cov­er­ing their face change their out­look on the world? How does a lot of makeup change the way the world will look back at them?

Love, Dear Valentine

February 13, 2010

Love is not find­ing the right per­son
But cre­at­ing the right rela­tion­ship.
It is not how much love we have in the begin­ning
But How much love we built until the end.
– Unknown
“I don’t pre­tend to know what love is for every­one, but I can tell you what it is for me; love is know­ing all about some­one, and […]

Living Up to Everything Expected

February 7, 2010

Behind Every Door… A New World

February 1, 2010

“A sense of the mys­te­ri­ous. The feel­ing that behind every door another world is wait­ing can make a child’s world a par­adise.” -  John Mighton
A sense of the mys­tery and promise of the uni­verse should not just be for chil­dren. Keep hope, though it sounds over sim­ple at times, it is one ele­ment we can’t […]

Look for Signs to Lead you to New Things

January 31, 2010

“Ignore your old life and look for signs that lead you to your new life”.
– Quote from an episode of Charmed which I hap­pened to leave on after The Gilmore Girls on Cosmo TV.
Isn’t it a great quote. I hope I caught it and wrote it down right. I was sort of watch­ing the show and […]

Communicating or Broadcasting?

January 22, 2010

Women like to com­mu­ni­cate. Men like to broad­cast.  -  Red Green
This is so true. I’ve noticed how men seen to need to make some kind of noise with every­thing they do. On another level some­one who broad­casts is putting all their noise/ com­mu­ni­ca­tion out­wards. There is a lack of two way com­mu­ni­ca­tion in just broad­cast­ing. Meanwhile […]

Take it from Shania…

January 18, 2010

“I find that the very things that I get crit­i­cized for, which is usu­ally being dif­fer­ent and just doing my own thing and just being orig­i­nal, is the very thing that’s mak­ing me suc­cess­ful.”
“It’s impor­tant to give it all you have while you have the chance.”

Destination Unknown

January 14, 2010

Writ­ing is mind trav­el­ing — des­ti­na­tion unknown.
This quote comes from a book I picked up at the thrift store. Write Source 2000: A Guide to Writ­ing, Think­ing and Learn­ing.  Writ­ten by Patrick Sebranek, Verne Meyer, and Dave Kem­per.
In a prac­ti­cal sense this isn’t true. When you write you do have an idea of where you […]

Conquering Fear is an Art

January 9, 2010

The con­quer­ing of fear is the high­est art.
This was quoted by a fic­tional char­ac­ter in a book (The Demon’s Daugh­ter)  by Emma Holly. I think it’s a fab­u­lous quote. I had a look for it on Google, to see if it was quoted by any­one else. I didn’t find it, at least not exactly the same. […]
