Y is all about YOU!

Before I go any further, How are You?  Having fun with the challenge?  Are you ready to fall over and take a week long break from blogging?  (I know I am!).  Never before have I posted so many days in a row and with a theme!   It's hard.  Especially when I jumped in with three participating blogs!  But anyway, this post isn't about me.  It's about you!  SO. . . I am gonna give you a few 'YOU can keep going' quotes! :) 

'Every great dream begins with a dreamer. 
Always remember, you have within you the 
Strength, the patience and the passion to 
Reach for the stars to change the world!'
~ Harriet Tubman

'Believe in yourself and others will too!"
~Unknown

'What doesn't kill you makes you stronger,
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean *you're lonely when you're alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter, 
Footsteps even lighter,"
~ Kelly Clarkson (Stronger)


See? YOU, YOU, YOU, YOU! 
If you have the want, and the will, you have a way! 

Good luck with the rest of the challenge!  I look forward to reading the last of the A to Z posts and continuing with the Reflection posts May 7th! 

*The lyrics here are changed from I to You.  (I told you this post was all about YOU) :)

W is for ...

Okay, so I stole this post from my last year's A to Z Challenge. I feel that it's too good to not share again. I just love the quotes and humor behind this and I hope you will too!

Just 3 more letters. *sniff*


*Writer's quotes!

Yes, I thought I'd cheat and not bust any more braincells. So I'm sitting on the shoulders of writerly geniuses today and hopefully fill your day with inspiration and laughter!

I'll start off with my most favorite quote:




Writers aren't exactly people...they're a whole bunch of people trying to be one person.
~F. Scott Fitzgerald

Writing is a socially acceptable form of schizophrenia. 
~E.L. Doctorow
 A word is not the same with one writer as with another.  One tears it from his guts.  The other pulls it out of his overcoat pocket.  
~Charles Peguy
You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you.  
~Ray Bradbury

I try to leave out the parts that people skip.  
~Elmore Leonard

 

Writing became such a process of discovery that I couldn't wait to get to work in the morning:  I wanted to kno what I was going to say.  
~Sharon O'Brien

I'm not a very good writer, but I'm an excellent rewriter.  
~James Michener
