Petals!

You know what often happens to me when I sit down to write....I think to myself, "It's been written before...so many brilliant writers have done it before me...why should I start writing on this story that's driving me crazy unless I let it out on paper?" And then there is a delightful quote by Elizabeth Berg, who says, "As for the notion that everything has been said, maybe it has, but life is like a meatloaf, there are so many different ways to present it. What's unique about you is what makes your writing interesting and what makes it shine. "  Hmmm, I like that quote.  Your turn: What do you think makes your writing shine?  Or can you share writers whose writing makes you go 'Hmmm, I've got to read this again!"

Here's an eclectic selection of posts that I read and enjoyed from around the web.  I just knew that I had to share it with you! We all look forward to improvement in everything we do.  From keeping the kitchen clean, finding more storage space to keep our kid’s toys to writing a winning entry for a writer’s contest, this month’s collection has a bit of everything for you.  You can also boost your mood with this blog post:   Five Exceptional Posts That Will Motivate You Today.     So, grab a seat, get your morning cup of tea/coffee and imagine this is your Sunday brunch.
