Monday Muse Tuesday Tips Wednesday Words Thursday Thoughts Friday Fun Saturday Scribbles Sunday Smiles. Saturday, August 6, 2011. By Cindy R. Williams. Two of my favorite people, Tony and Joanni Judd, on their wedding day. Playing the harp channels my muse and also calms my soul. I often play late at night in the dark. It's not like playing a trumpet so I don't wake anyone. If they do happen to stumble out of bed, they think they are hearing angels so it's all good. What works for you? Author Aimee Morga...

Blogs and Blurbs: SPARKIN
http://blogsandblurbs.blogspot.com/2011/01/sparkin.html
Monday Muse Tuesday Tips Wednesday Words Thursday Thoughts Friday Fun Saturday Scribbles Sunday Smiles. Thursday, January 6, 2011. By Cindy R. Williams. My middle grade fantasy has occupied the main recesses of my mind for the past three years so I tried "Sparkin" the name of the dragon that takes the young hero on some pretty wild adventures. It could be a good marketing tactic. Here's hoping that dreams come true. Labels: Cindy R. Williams. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). On "Writers Mirror" at.

Monday Muse Tuesday Tips Wednesday Words Thursday Thoughts Friday Fun Saturday Scribbles Sunday Smiles. Friday, January 27, 2012. If it's not, I will make it good. If I can't make it better, I will be happy anyway. Labels: Cindy R. Williams. January 31, 2012 at 11:45 AM. I recently heard that it is better to choose to be grateful than to try choosing to be happy all the time. Somehow, it is much easier, and oddly enough, when you do that, you find yourself feeling happier! Cindy R. Williams. Who is hidin...

Fragrance of Thought : Conquering Our Own Mountains
http://blog.peggyannshumway.com/2015/05/conquering-our-own-mountains.html
Saturday, May 23, 2015. Conquering Our Own Mountains. Recently, conference keynote speaker, Regina Sirois, compared mountain climbing to our writing careers. The points I took away from her talk included three important aspects writers must remember:. We should never sit down and die because the journey to the top is difficult. We should never be too busy getting too the top that we forget to help others along the way. Isn’t our goal as a writer to become better at our craft than we were before? In our t...

Fragrance of Thought : Grammar Styleguides: Which is Right?
http://blog.peggyannshumway.com/2015/05/grammar-styleguides-which-is-right.html
Saturday, May 2, 2015. Grammar Styleguides: Which is Right? I’m a nerd when it comes to collecting grammar books. I possess many of them. I am not saying I have mastered all the rules within these manuals, but I am interested in learning the best way to use the English language in my manuscripts. One of my favorite resources is the British Bestseller, Eats, Shoots and Leaves. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves. Whichever system becomes your mantra, shoot for ...

Fragrance of Thought : September 2012
http://blog.peggyannshumway.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 7, 2012. Engaging a Professional Editor. I had already paid an editor for suggestions, and I asked a few readers to give me their valuable opinions about the book. Did I want to pay more to make the manuscript marketable or was the agent’s opinion just that: one opinion? My fellow writers remind me nothing is beyond hope, still, will trusting his opinion help me come closer to my goal? What can a writer do to ensure they have hired the right editor? I'm all for hiring a professional edi...

Fragrance of Thought : The Potential to Become
http://blog.peggyannshumway.com/2014/05/the-potential-to-become.html
Sunday, May 4, 2014. The Potential to Become. I’ll admit some seem to achieve the final reward a lot faster and with less effort than in our own little world. I suppose they were born with intuitive understanding of the process or maybe even a little bit of luck. That’s okay. Those who labor diligently often appreciate the achieving far more than those who barely have to lift a pinkie. Ingrain the list to memory:. Learn all we can. 8211; That seems logical, right? Act on what we learn. 8211; We can learn...

Fragrance of Thought : May 2013
http://blog.peggyannshumway.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 7, 2013. If I have to edit my work anyway, I might as well have something to edit, right? Having a bunch of garbage on the page is comforting because I don’t write perfect works the first time around anyway. I write and then I make it better. My case here is that our thoughts may not be perfect, but our discipline can be. And the more we practice, the better we become. So what if our attitude stinks? What if we give up even before we start? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Follow Me on Facebook.
