we all need a little bit of inspiration, right?
yesterday, I found two little, big bits of it and of course I'm sharing, because I love you...
K.T.Hanna (who by the way is so freaking fantastic and one of the most supportive people I've *met* in the blogging world) tweeted a link to Chuck Wendig's blog where he posted 25 Things Writers Should Stop Doing. seriously awesome.
and then, I read this post by Stephanie Perkins, on having to make tough decisions concerning your writing and the rush to publish. Go read it... I swear you will feel inspired to write the best story you can, instead of rushing it just for the sake of being published... I heart her!
Go read the links if you know what's good for you!!!!
oh but before you go.. you guys.... BETH REVIS is doing a book signing on the 18th, right around the corner from ME! *hyperventilates, fans self.. almost passes out*
okay... I'm back!
dude, I'm so freaking there, like the biggest nerd, with Across the Universe and A Million Suns for her to sign.... and maybe... just maybe... because I LOVE YOU... I might get an extra signed copy and do a giveaway..... hush, it'll be a surprise!!!!
Now, go create something wonderful!
I will have to save the links for later. Must work. BUT, I can't wait to read A Million Suns. I'm a space geek. (OK so maybe I'm a Trekkie, shhh) so this series really, really appealed to me. It's really cool about the book signing. She is very down to earth and I'm sure you will be a little more smooth than I was.
ReplyDeleteLOVED both links! I bookmarked the first one for when I need a butt-kicking :) Also, I got SO excited when you said Beth Revis would be coming to CT, so I immediately google-mapped it and UGHHH! It's an hour and a half drive from me :( So sadddd! Take pictures though and tell us how it is!
ReplyDeleteOh! Have fun at the signing. I live in Wichita KS. No one ever comes here lol
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you liked that post. I love that blog.
Happy #writemotivation!
LUCKY! So, totally lucky! And I won't complain at all if you want to do a giveaway with an extra signed copy! (hint-hint) :) Have fun!
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky! Take me with you in spirit :-)
ReplyDeleteStay motivated. Keep motivated. Soon, we'll be getting that post about other big news...you know, the one where you tell us all about the oodles of progress you've made securing so-and-so for an agent or the steps taken to publish something you wanted full control over.
Enjoyed both links. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE when authors come to a city by me! :D I went to Kierstin White's a few months ago and she was hilarious!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'll definitely check out those links. ;)
I love it when writers get fangurl geeky over other writers. It makes me feel less insane for doing it myself :-)
ReplyDeleteAlso jealous. I wish Beth would come my way. Also, thanks for the links.
ReplyDeleteDude - I'm jealous about the Revis thing!
ReplyDeleteYeah. That's awesome that such a big author is going to be right next door essentially. You'd better go. That would be insulting if you didn't go and all you had to do was go for a short walk.
