Just Write!



Before dashing away to the flight which would take her to a sunny, idyllic beach, Christine imparted a bit of advice.

  She encouraged me to reach for the brass ring.

Write, 

and for God’s sake,

 edit

and proofread

and count your words!

  1. Lol, love it!!! That's what I have a hard time getting folks to understand, every long post represents 4 hours of writing, editing, proofreading, proofreading again...and still I can go back a couple days later and find errors I missed.

  5. I have to admit when I started writing, I was hoping it would work into a great work from home activity to help with the bills. Where the urge came from I don't know? Now it is a worthwhile hobby. It keeps my mind active and a productive way.

    1. Ann, I think a lot of us was hoping this blogging thing would go in that direction. Money would have been nice, and when I first started I made quite a bit of money doing it considering. Now I just do it for the fun of it. Thanks for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥

  14. This is funny! The editing process is time consuming- doesn't matter the post length. Shorter posts just mean our obsession is focused on fewer words :)

    1. jannatwrites, and that obsession can be even more maddening because the fewer the words the greater the challenge. Thanks so much for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥
